Thorin's Viking Mead Review: It Makes Me Feel Manly-ish!

[@splatterkat3838]

I met "Thorin" at the Texas Renaissance Festival years back before he bottled his mead like it is now. He used to make it in Cut n' Shoot, Tx and sold it in the campgrounds under the table. Good quality mead.

[@unemployedwineguy]

Hopefully you didn't have to engage in fearsome battle to wrest the mead from mighty Thorin's hands!

[@splatterkat3838]

@@unemployedwineguy It was more like running into one of those black market merchants in the woods lol. You had to know somebody that knew somebody to find him.

[@chaselonnergan]

I used to buy Mead from Thorin when he was selling it illegally in the Texas Renaissance Festival campground. He is an awesome guy.

[@unemployedwineguy]

I'm not sure a Viking can sell mead illegally. He can only do it without the bureaucracy's approval.

It's even speculated that ancient people would add water to honey for the fermentation itself, needing that liquid gold!

"I could never take her to Valhala!!!!!" Another killer line.

I get the feeling that if PV3 drinks that whole bottle, he is going to pull out that horned viking helmet he kept from that play, arm himself with that hunting knife that he uses to fend off the winos in the park he sleeps at during the night, and go over to Abby's house to give the tires of her car a little bit of "Odin's fury".

PV3 looked so happy this episode! Mead is pretty much closer to wine than most other drinks on this channel, so it was real interesting to see his take on it. I love mead a lot, might have to see how to get this regional one, maybe send PV3 some from my local meadery?

[@rkstevenson5448]

Next time, I recommend you try something from Superstition Meadery. They're local to us (in Prescott, Arizona; the symmetry is one more reason you should try it) and have some of the best meads on the planet. Lots of awards. Like, *lots* of awards. If you do give it a go, just know we don't pronounce the city's name like yours. Here it's "Pres-kit." Rhymes with "biscuit."

[@daedalus2253]

Time to watch the lock picking lawyer to get into the cellar!

[@Over_Toasted]

I think mead and beer also developed together (beer coming from mead with bitter herbs and grains added and wine being mead made with grapes). Eventually, beer would be buttered exclusively with hops over bitter herbs.
