After years of participating in the craft beverage scene, an introduction to Mead started us in an entirely new direction.
Unfortunately the lack of easy accessibility to the best drink around left us feeling left out. So, we desired to fix that and to figure out just how to make it. Several batches later, and with encouragement from friends and enthusiasts, what started as a hobby has turned into an entrepreneurial endeavor.
It is a similar story to that of so many before us.
Let us hope to be only half as successful as so many of them, and we'll be able to provide the community with another avenue to procure this hard to find, incredibly fascinating beverage!

375mL bottle drunk 10/1/23. Clear, bright gold. That's a lot of almond that slowly yields to some moderate pear character with bright honey throughout. Bold notes, ultimately too much almond, I think, but it's certainly aromatic. More acidity than expected, as brokensail points out. Pear is quite lovely and the almond is still packed in there. Rich honey, clean and soft with a touch of citrus character. Still rather disjointed and adjunct dominated, but I bet this would be nice in five years once it develops some cohesion and mellows out.

Pours dark, unclear redpurple. Scent is vanila, full, creamy, red berrry like rather than grape. Taste is sweet, intense, thick, nice vanilla 'hug to the tongue'. Lovely balance. Fruityness is more berry than grape to me. Absolutely loving this !
