Paul’s guest this week is Simon Cooper from GB Mead. Simon was originally a theatre electrician before time off due to an accident led him to battle re-enactments and being introduced to making Mead. Mead is possibly the oldest alcoholic beverage with many associations to folklore and to some traditions such as the Honeymoon period, as well as being referenced in programmes such as A Game of Thrones. Simon tells us about some of the history, about making Mead and the future of Mead as interest grows in the rediscovery of Mead as the new drink of choice.
