What is Mead?
Mead is arguably the world’s oldest alcoholic beverage - some say the finest. Mead is simply the name given to wine made from honey. In the case of New Day Meadery, we make honey wines (mead) that use honey exclusively and others that combine honey and fresh fruit.
Mead is the name given to wine made from honey. It is argued to be the oldest alcoholic beverage and throughout history has been crafted in a variety of styles. Just like grape-based wines, mead can be made dry to sweet, still or sparkling, and with a range of alcohol contents. Mead can even be made in a style that resembles beer or hard apple cider (carbonated and with a lower alcoholic content).
New Day Meadery is the first and only Meadery in the State of Indiana. There are around 60 Meaderies located throughout the United States. Each has their own special focus and all are carrying on a proud, ancient tradition of making mead. At New Day Meadery, our focus is on using only the finest, freshest ingredients to create our small, handcrafted batches that result in limited edition meads of the highest quality. Please review our product catalog to help you decide which varieties speak to you the most.
