Queen Bee's Shopping List

Traditional: Perhaps human's the most ancient fermented drink, Traditional Mead has flavors and aromas that far surpass it’s simple ingredients of my worker bees' honey, water and yeast.

05.01.07. Ordered online one of each traditonal mead from White Winter Winery. Bzzz.
05.12.07. Tonight my honey and I began our holy quest. Bzzz... To break our own sweet and meady stereotypes, we enjoyed our first bottle of White Winter Winery's earthy black current Black Mead with BBQ steak. It's a lovely robust dry red wine that pours like a fine Pinot Noir and it is yummy! Their label says that it pairs well with steak, cajun food, wild game, and other hearty foods. Must buy more to share with our Queen Bee friends. Bzzz!

Bracket: Explorers to Scandinavia discovered a local drink made from my cousin-bees' honey and grain. When malt is added to Mead, Bracket or Braggot is the result, a stout drink that represents a link between Mead and Ale.

Honey Beer:

MacTarnahan's Oregon Honey Beer. Pairs well with fruit or leaf lettuce salads, cheese platters, BBQ chicken, and fish.

05.22.07. I found and bought a 6 pack today of this honey beer at my local Trader Joe's. Bzzz. 05.25.07. We shared this tasty honey beer over the Memorial Day weekend retreat for the A. Austin Amerine Retreat Center hosted at Queen Bee Ranch in Lower Lake, CA where we plan to set up our apiaries and honey winery. The first sip of the honey beer was a tad hoppish, but then it smoothed out into a very enjoyeable beverage for a hot afternoon under the sun with my queen bee friends. Bzzz.

Cyser: A staple drink of the early Church, honey, water and apple cider fermented to create a stronger drink than everyday cider.

Rabbits Foot Meadery Apple and Honey Cyser and their War Hammer sparkling Apple honey cider cyser

White Winter Winery's Cyser. Ordered online on 05.01.07, bzzz.

Melomel: A mead with fruit added at the time of fermentation. In centuries past, most honey was reserved for the Mead of religious ceremonies and for the King. As a result, the common people began to mix fruit with their mead to make it last longer.
