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.

Sleeping Beauty - Pink & White Guava - Once Upon a Mead
Delightful Drinking Experience
This was so good. I split the bottle with a friend and I wish I'd had a whole one to myself, we both loved it! The flavors were exactly as described, and the guava really did give it a tropical flavor. It would be perfect to drink over summer or paired with a good meal. I'm looking forward to trying this one again.
