Is mead poised for a comeback? - By Nicholas Day - Slate Magazine

Slate Magazine published Is mead poised for a comeback?:
"Judging by the prominence of honey these days, you'd think there's a run on sugar. Local, flavored honeys are now in restaurant kitchens. Foodies are mail-ordering artisanal raw varieties. At my local farmers market in Connecticut, the area beekeeper shows up with a table's worth of options and a glassed-in buzzing hive. This resurgence is in spite of the recent colony collapse disorder, which decimated many beehives. But even more unexpected is the rise of honey for an ancient use: alcohol, in a drink known as mead."
Let us not forget about Elwood's New Day Meadery. They may be in the forefront of a national trend.
