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.

Backlog April 2018. Almost clear, blood red body without any head. Strong aroma of cherry, red berries in general and honey. Taste has sweet honey, fruit syrup, cherry, strawberry, black currants, mild acidity and warming alcohol. Full bodied and long lasting aftertaste.

Sample kindly provided by gunnfryd. Looks amazing, clear, deep, blood-red body with a small beige rim on the top. The honey part of the aroma is elegantly subdued, almost a bit hidden behind the juice of dark berries. Same goes for the taste, the honey is present almost just like the sweetening part of the juice from dark berries – the kind of berries that associated with berries from the forest (blackberry, field strawberries, cloudberry, blueberry etc.) Some acidity from the berries as well. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Fun to sample, but ends up a bit sweet in the end, still nice.

Mini-rbhd (trekkspilleren, eiendomsbaronen + undertegnede) på Bjørnøy sep-21. Vi er på oppløpssiden, og etter trekkspillerens rating nr. 1000 er vi nå kommet til denne mjøden: raffinert aroma med pors , lynghonning, og en antydning av einer. Smaken er enda bedre, saftig og farlig lettdrikkelig - dette er en superlekker mjød, og uten den overveldende sødmen man ofte kjenner i slike. Krystallklar, gylden farge. Du verden for et elegant produkt.
