Brewing with Honey!

May 01, 2015

Did you know that the earliest alcoholic beverages were probably made from diluted honey?

Around the world, present-day brewers continue to experiment with unique beer ingredients. Many modern brewers have come to value the use of all-natural ingredients in their beers. One such ingredient is honey! Honey is used in a variety of beers from lagers to ales to porters, due to its ability to enhance flavor.

Mead, or honey wine, is created by fermenting honey with water and is considered the ancestor of all fermented beverages. Mead can be sparkling or still, and dry or sweet.

Hard cider refers to the fermented beverage made from the juice of apples. It can range from sweet to dry depending on the types of apples and yeast used and the length of fermentation.

Homebrew, mead and hard cider have become increasingly popular with nearly one million Americans making their own beer according to the American Homebrewers Association.
