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, shared by clubgonzo. A clear, dark golden colored mead with some white bubbles. Honey-sweet aroma with a touch of forest, some lemon, juniper twigs more than berries, even though there's only berries in it, there's lots of things going on here, but it's hard to separate the different aroma elements. It's full-bodied, very lightly warming and with a super-light carbonation. Honey, fruityness, forest notes, some citrus hints and juniper in the flavor. The juniper berries are more evident in the finish. A quite traditional style mead, yet with a retro-modern twist that works well. Sort of like a dessert wine this one. Nice indeed, and perhaps a bit gentle. 190712

On tap at Sørlandet Ølfestival. A clear golden colored mead with a small white head. Honey driven aroma with apple, some spiced hints and a generic flowery, fruity touch. Full to medium body, quite sweet on the palate with a faint alcohol warmth. Honey, apple, some heather and spiced notes and a generic fruitiness. Long fruity finish. A nice mix of traditional and modern mead. 190712
