Made from fermented honey, Mead is a popular drink among the Norscan and some Northerners of the Empire. For most, however, it is too sweet to drink in great quantities, though a few fools do and regret it. The most notorious mead is brewed in Middenheim and called Sweet Brew. Though it has a rich amber colour and a delicious taste, occasional batches are known to contain a few contaminants that elicit strange visions and unsettling emotional outbursts. People risk the unusual side effects for a sample of this expensive beverage.[1a]
