It made breathing more difficult, and I coughed a lot.I'm curious what your reaction was. I won a 6-pack of homebrew mead in a raffle a few years back and a single bottle would make my face numb.

Ah. I'd rather have a numb face...It made breathing more difficult, and I coughed a lot.
What makes almonds so lucrative?

I'm not sure, but I get the same reaction if I take more than one naproxen.What could cause these reactions anyway? In my case, it was just that one bottle, but it was repeatable. And it tasted great, by the way.
If you do even just a little bit every day, then eventually you'll get a round tuit.I'm not sure, but I get the same reaction if I take more than one naproxen.
Btw, I have all the ingredients together to make a JOAM. I just need to find a round Tuit.
Almond milk, almond joy candy bars, roasted almonds, and everything else they put almonds in. Have you looked at the price of them lately? Swmbo got some for her baking and like to have killed me for even suggesting that I'd like to use them for an almond wine. (Slight exaggeration)What makes almonds so lucrative?
I've tried about 10 different bottles now from different vendors, and, all but one or two seemed pretty bad (definitely not worth buying again). Why is that? I can pretty easily find a good bottle of wine, but finding a good bottle of mead is almost like searching for the holy grail.
So far I've had better results from homebrewing mead, but I would have thought that professional brewers, with all their resources and experience, could do at least as well and maybe better and that competition would elevate those with better products and that stores would have reason to carry the best of what's available.
Moonlight Meadery out of Londonderry NH has some pretty good ones. There was one though, that I took one sip of & spit it out in the toilet along with the rest of the bottle. There was a picture of a on it, I think his ass was part of the brew.This is an older thread, but I figured rather than start a new one since I wanted to ask the same/similar question.
I've been getting into mead the last couple years and last year my sister got me a mead making kit (just a 64oz jug) and so now that's a thing I am trying my hand at. Have expanded to a couple 1 gallon carboys but have very limited space (basically brewing under my sink in a 1 bedroom apartment) and have been skimming these forums and other sites for problem solving the last few months, so you'll probably hear more from me now that I finally signed up.
But anyway, the relevant question to this thread, when it comes to buying commercial mead, I've always had better luck if I spend over $25 on a bottle. Whenever I have tried the cheaper meads (most recently one I found at Trader Joes called Camelot Mead), they tend to be sickeningly sweet. Not saying I've loved every pricier bottle I've tried, but that I would chalk up to personal taste. I want to know why it seems to be consistent that any cheaper meads seem to always be sickeningly sweet and if anyone else agrees with that? I feel like I can find a decent red wine for under $10 -- maybe a super expensive red wine would taste better, but I can find cheap ones that are enjoyable, but with mead...I've never purchased a bottle for less than $25 that was any good at all (like...Camelot I just ended up dumping most of the bottle down the drain) and they all seem bad in the same way-- which is way too sweet.
There is a local (to Oregon) company Melchemy that makes good meads, imo. I haven't liked every one I've tried from them, but they had an apricot cinnamon mead that was really good and a juniper pine one that was good, if interesting. Their Elderflower one wasn't a favorite for me, but definitely better if you let it breathe a bit before drinking.
tl;dr is there a good commercial mead that is available for less than $25 a bottle?
