Behind Mjøderiet stands five firefighters from Bergen with a passion for mead - an ancient cultural drink that has only in the last few years begun to return to Nordic palates.
With backgrounds as home brewers and beer enthusiasts at various levels, we at Mjøderiet have ambitions to revitalize mead in Norway. We believe Norwegians are ready to take part in the international development where mead has made a comeback in several countries. We think mead is insanely exciting and is a drink with great potential.
Mjøderiet wants to spread knowledge about mead, revive the classic styles and experiment with new and exciting flavors. We want to have a foot in the old mead tradition and one in the new craft brewery culture, where we experiment with fruits and spices, different alcoholic strengths and different levels of carbonic acid.
The meeting room will have diversity.
We want quality, and genuine passion for precious drops.
For painstakingly collected honey from diligent bees. For real fruits and berries, for flavorful herbs and spices. And of course for exciting and unique flavor combinations.
We want to meet the people.

Bottle. A clear deep golden colored mead, still and oily in the glass. Apple pie aroma, that gorgeous smell of freshly baked apple pie with cinnamon, apple jam-ish apple and cake, along with hints of vanilla, and some alcohol, wood and honey. Quite subdued honey actually. It's full-bodied, oily and smooth on the palate, quite warming, but in a good way. Sweet flavor with honey and apple pie. Vanilla, warm apple jam, cinnamon, apple pie dough and some woody hints. Long, sweet and not too cloying finish. Delicious indeed. Not a mead to drink a lot of, but a small glass is really enjoyable. 230404

Bottle. An oily pour, golden in color, with no head. Spiced aroma with lots of nuts, a good dash of honey and flower and some alcohol. Some boozy hints, but not much. Woody notes too. It's full-bodied, sweet, lightly warming and still on the palate, with quite a lot of sugar. Chestnuts, Brazil nuts, some hazelnuts and flowers, honey, spiced and herbal hints and a light boozy hint. Lasting finish. A bit challenging this one, but with lots of good flavors and aromas anyway. 230128
