                                While beer is brewed from fermented cereal grains like barley, mead is created by fermenting honey and water, a fundamental difference that impacts their nutritional composition. Both ancient beverages have enjoyed revivals in recent years, prompting health-conscious consumers to question which drink, if any, is the healthier choice.
