Mead in Alaska

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mead, an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting a solution of honey and water, is made in Alaska among other places. Because Alaska has no indigenous pollinators that produce honey,[1] local honey is expensive, causing most Alaskan mead to be made from imported honey.[2]
