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.

Let customers speak for us
Variety is the spice of Life!
I purchased the variety set as it came with the phantom of the opera bottle which is what brought me here. I’m actually taking my adult kid who just turned 21 to see Phantom tomorrow night so we brought it with us as a pre-show drink. We have previewed 4/6 bottles and loved them all. I’m a fan of sweet drinks so they all were very good! And the bottles and labels make it that much more fun. We plan on putting twinkle lights in some bottles and drippy candles in others to keep and remember.

Perfectly Wonderful!
I started with Sun, thinking it sounded the least favorite of the four. I was completely delighted with the flavors and this mead is sweet enough to satisfy my palette. Can't wait to try the others. And the bottles themselves are so awesome! I have several ideas how to use them after the mead is gone. Batch Mead has a new life-long customer!

Love both the mead and the hard cider
Love the meads, but those hard ciders are amazing as well. Really refreshing on the hot summer days we’ve been having. Ordered a variety of meads for my son for his birthday, just placed a second order weeks later.

Always a pleasure
I've ordered from Batch Mead a few different times now and have always had a wonderful experience. The meads are shipped with care and if I have any questions about my order they're always so quick to get back to me. And, of course, all of the meads I've tried have been absolutely delicious! I do like that a large order will come with free shipping since it just makes me more mindful to buy in bulk and then savor them over a long period of time. A few times I have gotten an order with what I thought was an incorrect bottle but was actually an upgrade bottle to a higher quality of a mead--it's a wonderful delight and I appreciate it, but my only suggestion would be to make a note on the itemized list that gets shipped just to avoid confusion.

Great summer drink!
The flavor was so interesting! It has a slightly tangy but bitter aftertaste to it which I think is from the passionfruit; because it isn't too sweet it pairs very nicely with sweet breads and desserts so it's kind of great for having in the evening after a meal. While I'll admit it isn't my favorite from this store, so many of my friends loved it so I still want to give it five stars. For my personal tastes it'd probably be more of a 4 star just because I tend to enjoy sweeter meads. But I am very happy I tried something new because this one is great for summer.

Midsummer Isles Mead
Perfect for berry fans!
This is one of my favorites that I keep coming back to! I love the flavors--I'm a big berry fan and this one has the right amount of sweetness mixed with the bubbly-ness of the mead that helps it not be too sickeningly sweet for my palette. Pairs really well with a steak and crispy potatoes dinner! Will absolutely be buying more in the future.

Valkyrie's Tears Mead
Loving them!
Loving them all a little bit, fun to taste the different flavors, haven't tried all in pack yet. It's a nice change with something sweet besides sweet wine, and cider. Definitely will continue to stock my fridge.

Nectar of Valhalla Mead
Great experience
From purchase to delivery, everything was smooth and timely. I purchased the Tarot set for my wife and she has tried 3 out of the 4 so far. Each one has been delicious and would buy again. I'm curious to try the many other options available.
