The yeast ''[[Saccharomyces cerevisiae]]'' is commonly used in modern mead production.

Mead varieties include drinks called [[metheglin]] (with spices or herbs), [[melomel]] (with fruit juices, such as grape, specifically called [[pyment]]), [[hippocras]] (with [[cinnamon]]), and sack mead (high concentration of honey),~~<ref name=mol />~~ many of which have been developed as commercial products numbering in the hundreds in the United States. Honey is also used to make mead [[beer]], called "braggot".
