Description
A meadery and brewery based in the border between Wales and England making a modern twist on the world's oldest form of alcohol. Lighter, sparkling and infused with a variety of flavours.

Hey! We're Kit and Matt. We set up Wye Valley Meadery in 2018 and have been producing a growing range of delicious sparkling and traditional meads ever since. Our experimentation led us to create some beer / mead hybrids and we quickly realised this required further investigation.

Наверно лучшее пиво на фесте, за него я и голосовал. Прям ощущается мед приятно, цветочность, ячмень.

31/5/2025. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear reddish amber with some bubbles. Aroma is raspberries and cream, vanilla, honey, bramble, flowers. Medium sweetness, touch of raspberry tartness. Very smooth. Lovely mellow sweet and light tart finish. Light carbonation. Very good.
