Is it still possible to purchase barrels of mead? The feasts typically portrayed in medieval movies, tv shows, and video games, whether fantasy or historical fiction, look like a hell of a lot of fun. I feel like Renaissance fairs ruin the experience of a medieval feast with their family friendly atmosphere, so the obvious remedy is to plan a massive medieval themed party. Would it be possible, not to mention fairly cheap, to purchase a large quantity of mead today for such an event?

I imagine them being the opposite of fun. Try home brewing or wine making (whatever mead is) without any experience and without looking up how to do any of it and the end result will probably be as tasty as the awful tasting shit they drank back in the day.
