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.

On tap at Bakgården Både&. An unclear, red mead with a minimal sized white head. Lots of blueberry on the nose, with honey underneath. Some grassy hints as well. It’s sweet, but not in a sticky way, full to medium bodied and with a soft and smooth carbonation. Some spiced, herbal forest-ish hints in the flavor, but as for the aroma, it’s blueberry that runs the show, with honey just a supporting flavor. A pleasant and easy drinkable mead I sure gonna have again. 170429

250 ml bottle, batch #2, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 12%. Hazy brownish-golden colour, no head nor any carbonation. Strong aroma of honey, cinnamon and other Christmas spices. Very sweet flavour with notes of honey, caramel, alcohol and loads of Christmas spices. Too much of the good stuff.
