pyment
Honey wine hybrid
Pyment is a type of mead made by fermenting honey with grape juice or wine, blending characteristics of both traditional mead and wine.
The result is typically sweeter than standard wine but with more complexity than plain mead.
Pyment was popular in medieval Europe and has seen modest revival among home brewers and mead enthusiasts.
The meadery's pyment paired surprisingly well with the cheese course.
