Description
About Mjøderiet:

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.

Felt like a powerful rose wine. Dangerously easy to drink. And very refreshing. Pleasant fruity and raspberry flavor with some citric notes. Highly recommendable. Nice sparkling touch.

On tap at Haand Fest. A clear amber colored drink with a short lasting white head. Citrus, pine cones, pale malt notes and honey in the aroma. It's quite bitter on the palate, full-bodied and dry, with piney, citrusy flavors along with pale malts and honey hints. Lasting bitter and dry finish. A bit too bitter, or perhaps even hoppy, to be really nice this one. 170527
