Our latest small batch mead is here! Barrel Aged Braggot is a medieval honey ale, aged in Whisky casks.
A Braggot is an ancient, historically significant hybrid beverage blending beer (malt) and mead (honey), dating back to Celtic times and popularized in medieval Europe. This "honey ale" was a staple for special occasions, with roots in 12th-century Wales and Ireland. It was famously mentioned in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales!

Bottle. Color: Clear amber, thin beige head. Aroma: Oak wood, whiskey. Taste: Well balanced blend of honey, Whiskey, oak wood and some grain and hop. Whiskey is lightly overwhelming, but I don't mind. A bit thin body, low to zero carbonation. Moderate sweet, light to moderate bitterness. Nice Braggot.
