Drink mead; Hrothgar does

Have you every tried mead before?

Mead is a fermented-honey beverage, usually with a few other things thrown in.

If you've ever actually read the ancient warrior-and-monster poem of Beowulf -- surely better than the movie currently in theaters -- you know that the king Hrothgar builds a "mead hall" early in the story.

I recently tried some home-made mead, interviewed its maker, and wrote about it for the Weekly Surge in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

It includes a link that tell you how to make your own mead.
