Brewed by the monks through the middle ages, mead was the mainstay of Welsh courtly life. It is reckoned to be the oldest alcoholic drink in the world.

All over Europe it was thought to be an aphrodisiac and given to newlyweds to drink for a month, hence the origin of the word 'honeymoon'. Celebrated in the poetry of Anerin and Taliesin, it was a drink for which the Welsh were justly famous.
