I like it chilled, though I don't know if that's the typical way b/c I like all my drinks cold regardless.
Who likes Mead?

I drank a lot of mead at the Renaissance Festival this summer! 
It was 2 or 3 days.
I make my own mead. It is pretty fun but honey is getting expensive. Over the solstice till yule I'll be cracking open a bottle or two of a blueberry/blackberry mead (well technically I guess that is a melomel) I bottled back in Apr 15, so while still a little young it should be coming into it's own by now.
You can get started with mead with very little equipment. A few glass carboys (or even just a really clean bucket!), a tight lid, and some hose is about it, though of course airlocks, siphons, and SG meters help a lot. The biggest mess is just sterilizing everything and cleaning up afterwards (and keeping dirty kid hands away

My uncle started bee keeping last year and wants to try his hand at making mead sometime in the near future.
I LOVE me some mead. My homebrew partners and I sometimes put together a batch. Commercially there are a few I'm not a fan of. But I love Carroll's the best.
EEZEE, Cool Springs Wine and Spirits in Franklin has Chaucer's, Redstone and a couple of imports in the high gravity beer section of the store. The Chaucer's is around $13 to $14 and the Redstone (from Colorado) is about $20. The imports were more in the $30 range.
Thank you VERY MUCH!!
