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.

Can from House Of Trembling Mind. Hazy golden body with thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of heather honey and caramel. Flavour of dark honey and toffee. Thin body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Sweet and delicious . The carbonation helps to ensure it’s not cloying.
