Mazers and mead ... the honey drink of old

Mead, known as the honey drink of the immortals and man's oldest liquor, wa s widely brewed and drank in Europe in earlier times, with England being a leader in this production. This is not surprising, as the old name for Engl and was the "Isle of Honey," coined from the abundance of bees, both domest icated and wild, that lived on the vast amount of wild flowers and herbage that flourished in a largely uncultivated land and produced an abundance of honey.
