You may have never heard of these places before, but they're a different drinking experience for sure.

Do you know what mead is? It's sometimes dubbed as the "drink of the Gods" and it's a fermented 'wine' made from honey and water.

"It’s one of the oldest alcoholic beverages ever made, as it was consumed as far back as 4,000 years. Interestingly, mead was common across ancient cultures around the world including those in Asia, Europe and Africa", according to HealthLine.

It's not ACTUALLY wine, but people often categorize it with a wine. It's fermented from the honey's sugar and it's quite unique taste. If you've never tried it before, this is Buffalo and we love new experiences so what are you waiting for.
