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 amber colored mead, flat and oily. The aroma has delicious coffee at first, then honey and a touch of alcohol joins. Caramel too. It's full-bodied, oily and lightly warming, semi-sticky, with lots of coffee-flavor. Caramel, honey and some alcohol. Warming, sweet finish with caramel, honey and a good dash of coffee. Not my favorite mead, but the blend of coffee, caramel and mead works well. More an evening drink than a breakfast drink I think. 201101

330 ml clear bottle, batch #070, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 7.5%. Golden colour, pours moderately sparkling with a small and shortlived white head. Aroma of apples and honey. Moderate carbonation in the mouth, but not lifeless. Flavour also of apples and honey, no surprises there. Not overly sweet though. Refreshing and easy drinking.

250 ml bottle, batch #049, as Mjøderiet Eventyrlyst Grimhilde, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 12.2%. Deep red colour, minimal carbonation. Aroma of honey, caramel, hibiscus and apples. Sweet flavour, with the same elements as the aroma, also noticeable alcohol. Okay, but as it was quite expensive, I probably won't buy it again.
