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.

330ml bottle at the Salmon, Leicester at 6.3%. Dark brown and opaque with an uneven grey-beige head. Light smoke and some honey notes, with chocokately malts and a little hit of black grape. Sweet taste with touches of honey followed by a light bitterness. Heavily carbonated. Not all that smoked, and not all that honeyed, but a tasty porter nonetheless.
