...All this talk of bread in a can makes an early cutscene in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin take on a whole new light :P

Yeah, la Brasserie de la Senne makes some great beers, although I'm not a stout fan. They also have an annual celebration the Feast of the Charge, where people on modified bicycle try to get as much beer as possible on top of the steepest street in Brussels and then drink it. Good time.

As for fruit beers we mostly do cherry, peach and raspeberries, but they tend to be too light and sweet, so I'm not a fan. However, mixed with some stronger ales, you can get heavenly mixtures.

Okay.  So I've seen "Honey Wine" labeled as mead in the liquor store, and I've also read that it is (and isn't) mead.

I know it's not beer, but I simply am curious as to whether it is or isn't mead.  I've seen it accused as not being mead, and being advertised as mead, and wikipedia is no help in this case.

Does anyone know if "Honey Wine" is or is not in fact, mead?

It is mead, but it's not what most people who think Barbarians and Fire think of. Mead is any fermented beverage whose sugar content (pre-fermentation) derives primarily from honey, and it has a variety of subcategories like melomel (flavored with fruit).

EDIT: But some cultures do distinguish the two, apparently, so it's a matter of context and degree of technicality, I suppose.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
