Mead Adventure In Lviv

I went on an adventure in Lviv, sampling different flavors of mead and tinctures. They rated each flavor and recommended trying the mead hunt in Lviv. The Nalyvky Zi Lvova brand had a good selection with affordable prices. The Traditional Carpathian Mead from Карпат'як brand had a strange aftertaste. It was a fun night filled with laughter and surprises.
