Braggot – It’s MEAD, it’s BEER, it’s BOTH (and Easy)
Braggot is a fermented hybrid beverage that combines beer and mead. It’s made by finding the right balance of ingredients, such as honey, grain, hops, herbs, and spices, and then fermenting them together. The goal is to create a drink that has complementary qualities of both beer and honey. Braggot can range in flavor from sweet to tart, and can have a smooth mouthfeel and a body that varies from light to full.
