the drink of love

sadie, theres and i discovered the redstone meadery on our bike ride the other day. we stopped in, did some free tasting, and discovered that we REALLY enjoy mead! (so, yep, we took some home too!)

we learned from dave, the owner of redstone meadery, that mead is a wine, fermented from honey. We also learned that fermented honey may be the oldest form of alcohol known to man.

interestingly, legend has it that the word honeymoon is derived from an ancient tradition of sending a newly married couple off to seclusion for a month with much mead, to ensure their best chance to start a family quickly. Mead has been, and still is, considered the drink of love.

and it's made locally, right along the boulder bike path! all the better!!
