Yes they did! They didn't discover mead, but they did trade with merchants in Asia where they learned how to make mead. They typically drank meads that were between 4-8% alcohol and some historians believe they saved mead for special occasions.

Midnight Mead
A great set
They're all good meads, each one is unique while still definitely pie-ish. I'll have to get a couple more sets of these since they're such a huge hit with guests.

Pie Mead Set with Box
Love at first sip
This was the first bottle I opened from my mixed order. I love it! Just enough heat and the raspberry is just the right mix. I can't wait for others to try it from my second bottle.

AWARD-WINNING: From the Ashes Mead
Very nice!
If you're looking for a traditionally sweeter mead, this may not be your favorite. But if you like a bourbon's smoky aftertaste, it's just subtle abd balanced enough to suit your palate.

Dead Shores Mead
Amazing
Could be my new favorite. The dry was a switch for me but the bold floral nature is captivating indeed!

Phantom of the Opera Mead
Delicious
The flavor on this mead is just lovely. There's plenty of apple pie flavor without it being overwhelming. And it's got a nice amount of sweetness, not too much or too dry.
