Honey (Ep. 21)
Honey bees are so cool. There were several beverages in antiquity that were fermented from honey, many of which have survived today. Mead is fermented entirely from honey, while braggot is basically a hybrid of beer and mead. In recent history, Belgian brewers have proven adept at brewing biere de miel, less a style than a group of beers that incorporate honey. And from there, modern craft brewers have started putting honey into more and more styles.
In today’s episode we talk with professionals who work in honey, beer, and chocolate about the use of honey in our favorite indulgences.
