But historically, mead has been valued for its health benefits as a beverage and a component of therapeutic tonics. What are the benefits to drinking mead? The preferred type of mead was one that had added herbs or spices to cover off some other flavors. The word “metheglin,” which refers to spiced mead, is a Welsh word that descended from the Latin word “Medicus,” or medicinal libation. At the time, these liquids were employed to treat a wide range of ailments, so there are benefits to drinking mead.
There is a long tradition of advocating moderate alcohol consumption, and this isn’t simply true of mead. However, as previously stated, there are no clinical studies that conclusively demonstrate this. But mead has some characteristics that make it a fascinating mixture to examine.
Gluten-Free
This is absolutely accurate. All of our meads are gluten-free, giving customers who want to experience the artisan scene but are unable to consume beer or even dark alcoholic beverages a true option. Mead can be consumed with confidence by individuals following a gluten-free diet because it is never brewed with grains. Even the barrel-aged meads don’t have gluten in them.
All Natural Ingredients
Honey is the best natural sweetener available. Honey is naturally very healthful and, because it contains local pollen, can provide relief for local allergies. Although it is debatable whether mead retains this quality, it is obvious that no refined sugar has been added. Mead is a fantastic substitute for individuals who attempt to avoid white sugar.
