4+ | Mead tasting V/fantastic brew

Honey — also known as honey wine — is one of the world's oldest alcoholic beverages and was enjoyed thousands of years before the Vikings. Archaeological findings suggest that mead was made over 9,000 years ago. I have been making mead myself for more than thirteen years. In my production, the honey is not heated, as otherwise it will remove part of the fine and natural flavor nuances. The mead is made as natural wine, where the yeast is allowed to ferment completely without the addition of sulphur. The honey I use comes from organic areas around Abild and at the festival site in Tønder.
The actual brewing takes place in Møgeltongder, so the whole process is strongly locally rooted. I have selected eight different types of mead. The selection ranges widely — from fruit mead and crunchy spontaneously fermented flavors to purple pea flower mead, dark and sweet forest honey mead, and braggots, which are an exciting blend of beer and mead. For the tasting, home-baked bread is served.
