I don't know, specialty liquor store? I can never find it for sale, so I tried to make my own, and it was terrible, I'm sure if you googled it there would be a website selling mead

Shit, if you find some, post it here. I'd like to get my hands on some as well.

Even in Europe it only seems to be sold in UK.

I can buy it for 35 DKK(~6 USD) per 0.7 L bottle here in alcohol stores. It is cheaper than the cheapest of wines, but it is still drinkable. Extremely sweet, but palatable.

Overall I would think meaderies would exist everywhere where honey production is done, which is just about everywhere. Ask any private bee keeper around you: "who brews mead around here?"

Yeah, you'd probably need to go to either a specialty store or an alcohol warehouse. We have this warehouse chain called Dan Murphy's, they have almost every form of booze known to man. You got anything like that down there?

I was able to find some in Canada in a liquor store that had the biggest beer selection in town. Anything that boasts to have a large variety of anything is worth a try. Give them a call too, some of those places have membership cards where they deliver new made booze to you every month!

Try finding it whereever Vikings or Dwarves congregate.

There's a tavern in the Keep on the Borderlands that has it on tap.

Masangre, your av is too confusing: it makes me want to be both a bottle of beer and the person about to drink it.

I drank some mead on the island of Lindisfarn - the monks used to brew it. Not really my kind of thing (too sweet), but worth trying. Maybe your best bet is online - http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nl ... rodid=3478. The drink shop delivers internationally.

There's a place near here called Bunratty Castle and there you can apparently have a banquet where they serve medieval food like legs of pork you can chew on and all that good stuff. They probably serve mead there (presumably served by wenches - no offense) and it all sounds like a good time! Must go out there some time...
