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?

There are mature LARP events that are basically that. You go out into the woods and inhabit those old fashioned tents that served as mobile command centers and get drunk and -blam!- and then go out and pretend to kill each other in the morning.
