Mead is probably the oldest known alcoholic beverage in the world. From Europe to Australia, mead has been a popular drink dating back to long before Viking Times. One of the earliest references to mead can be found in the Indian Hindu’s holy books, the Veda books, which date back 4000 years and possibly even earlier than that. The oldest known recipe for mead to be written down in the Nordic countries was in 1520 by the Archbishop Olaus Magnus. The recipe comprised of water, honey, hops and brewers yeast, and concludes that “on the eight day – or earlier in emergencies – the mead may be drunk, but the longer it is left, the purer, better and healthier it will be.” Our products are brewed based on a recipe from about year 1700, and the ingredients are pure and 100% natural – guaranteed free from additives of any kind. Honey is the major and most important item in the recipe.
