People go mad for grape based beverages and grain based beverages, but honey based beverages are clearly superior.
So, Mead Bar, a franchised chain of city centre establishments, will fill the gap.
Offering a near-complete selections of different honey-derived drinks, from sweet and sticky childrens'
pop, botanical bevereges, alcopop-style teen concoctions, straight dry white wine style, distilled spirits, through to liqueur blends, all in a range of (mildly psychoactive) herbal infused flavours or straight up, and also featuring spectacular speciality single origin examples (Siberian semi-sweet champagne barrel aged wild cloudberry blossom honey mead for example).
All beverages served in horn-shaped glass vessels you can't stand down, to encourage quicker consumption. All tables and chairs and beermats hexagonal.
A range of bar food is also served including toast and butter, hazelnuts in their shells, real Cornish clotted cream drizzled with honey, and steak.
Apart from that, totally straight. This is NOT a Viking theme establishment or anything like that.
Advertising slogans: "Have you heard the Bzzz?" "Bee there or bee square", "Where do you want to mead tonight?" and "Where are you going tonight, honey?

Never tried it. I imagine the hangover is massive. |
|
| |
Misread this on the Overview page as 'mead war'... |
|
| |
Yes like that, but glass rather than plastic. |
|
| |
I'm teetotal and therefore clueless on this subject, but I can't see why this wouldn't work. |
|
| |
Well, people that don't drink wouldn't help much. |
|

You can have a big cup of sbiten from the steaming samovar in the snug, [david]. |

This is an excellent idea. Its only flaw is its reliance
on mead, which is gross. |
|
| |
I agree, reliance on anything is gross. |
|
| |
Have you tried good mead? |
|
| |
Would spending money in the bar allow you to earn Nectar
points ? Since the bees do a lot of flying to make the honey,
perhaps they would be prepared to trade Nectar points for their
Air Miles ? |

"It's bee vomit that's been acted on by a mould
distantly related to thrush." |
|

"Why that sounds lovely, where can I get some!?" |
|
| |
I actually have a bottle of the stuff... never had the courage to crack it open. Does it go bad ? |
|
| |
Maybe try this in Las Vegas. They've got a whole lake of the
stuff nearby. |

[21 Q]:-
You could Google 'Lindisfarne mead stockists' (see link) |
|
| |
A search of Wal-Mart for mead only turned up paper products, no honey beverage. A bar that sells stuff no one wants to buy is going to need a lot of other businesses to make it. |
|
| |
Mmm... I will go for a "yes" on that one. I remember seeing a "display hive" with a glass wall when I was young. Fascinating. |
|
| |
That's what they called it ... in fact, the glass is there so the bees can
be entertained by watching the humans. |
|
| |
[+] Drunk in a room full of bees. Maybe patrons can wear garlands of wildflowers. |

[21] Mead; looks like 12floz or so. I know honey can crystallize after awhile, easily restored by nuking as long as it isn't a plastic container. |
|
| |
Actually, it even works in a plastic container. Just
be sure to remove the metallic label first, however. |
|
| |
Depends on the plastic. Honey can easily get to well
over 100°C (especially in a microwave, where
hotspots can develop in the relatively non-convecting
honey), and many common plastics will melt. |

Just think of the benefits for allergy-sufferers. |

A side of ambrosia to go, thanks. |
