When Matt Falenski, owner/meadmaker of the Laurel Highlands Meadery, received state approval for his operation in 2011, his timing couldn’t have been better. Mead is the oldest beverage known to man, dating back to approximately 7000 B.C. It is now enjoying a resurgence in popularity fueled by the wave of craft micro-breweries and their adventurous patrons. Commonly known as “Honey wine,” mead is made from honey, yeast, fruit, or spices, depending on the meadmaker’s style. Laurel Highlands Meadery produces an interesting menu of mead for you to select from. Their meads come in sweet or dry table wine and dessert wine. You can find Matt and his latest mead menu in his tasting room at 1400 Broad Street, Greensburg, PA.  Call 724-249-6323       Laurelhighlandsmeadery.com
