Mead FAQs
How Do You Drink Mead?
Mead can be enjoyed in a variety of ways:
- For sparkling mead, serve chilled at about 45°F (refrigerator temperature).
- Still mead can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.
- Feel free to experiment by mixing mead with spirits, ice, or mixers—but we think it’s best enjoyed straight!
How Do You Store Mead?
- Keep unopened bottles in a cool, dry place (like a wine fridge or a closet) away from sunlight or fluctuating temperatures.
- We recommend drinking our cans within 6 months and bottled meads within 1-2 years.
- Once opened, mead is best enjoyed within 1-3 days. Use a bottle stopper and keep it in the fridge to preserve its carbonation and freshness.
Can mead age?
Yes! Like wine, mead can age beautifully. However, we recommend enjoying it within a year of purchase for the best flavor.
Is Everything at Batch Mead Gluten Free?
Yes! Mead and hard cider are both naturally gluten free! We do offer some meads that are aged in whiskey or other grain alcohol barrels - very small trace amounts of these spirits do seep into the barrel aged mead. We also note what barrel (if any!) the mead was aged in.
