ONTARIO BEEKEEPERS UNVEIL NEW ASSOCIATION FOR MEAD MAKERS
The Ontario Beekeepers’ Association is buzzing with the announcement of the formation of an Ontario mead makers’ association.
With increasing demand for mead, Ontario beekeepers have come together and identified the need for an industry association to promote Ontario honey-based fermented products, like mead, honey wine and honey beer, and address and advocate on industry-wide issues, such as quality, market access, regulation, and taxation.
Mead is a lightly fermented beverage made primarily from honey. It’s also believed to be the most ancient alcoholic beverage crafted by humans, predating both beer and traditional fruit and grape wines by thousands of years. According to the American Mead Makers Association, mead is one of the fastest-growing alcoholic beverages in the U.S.
