Excellent sweet Norwegian mead fermented from chestnut honey matured for 6 months in a Bourbon barrel.
100 batches! We're celebrating the round number by making traditional mead, which was also the style we first brewed when we opened our mead in 2016. But batch #100 isn't just any traditional mead - it's made with 100% Spanish chestnut honey, and aged for 6 months in barrels after bourbon. With its distinct tones of caramel, nuts, chocolate and vanilla, it goes well with ice cream, desserts - or to drink on its own. Hooray for 100 new batches of mead!

mead
Mead is an alcoholic beverage fermented from honey and water, with possibility of addition of other ingredients such as spices or herbs or in combination with fruit juices.
Classical mead
Classical mead is made by fermenting honey and water without any other ingrediences. It keeps its original honey flavour and taste.
Type of honey
Chestnut honey is one of the healthiest honeys thanks to its high mineral content, strong antioxidant properties, and powerful anti-bacterial properties.
Producer Mjøderiet
Norway's first meadery, located outside Bergen, Norway. We make all kinds of mead, both traditional and modern.
The first Norwegian mead farm that produces all types of mead: traditional and modern
Mjøderiet is made up of five passionate enthusiasts from Bergen, Norway, with a passion for mead - an ancient drink that has started to make a comeback in Nordic tastes in recent years.
We have a diverse background coming from Norway's homebrewing scene and beer enthusiasts, and Mjøderiet's ambition is to revitalize mead both in Norway and internationally. We believe that more and more people are ready to join the international development in which mead has made a comeback in several countries. We think mead is a hugely exciting drink with huge potential. Mjøderiet strives to spread knowledge, revive classic styles and experiment with new and adventurous tastes.
We have one foot in the old mead tradition of trying to resurrect ancient flavors and ancient recipes, while the other foot is in the new culture of craft drinks, focusing on experimenting with fruits, berries, spices, different levels of carbonation and alcohol.
Mjøderiet wants diversity. We want quality. We want a real passion for noble drinks, for honey carefully collected by hard-working bees, for real fruits and berries, for fragrant spices and herbs. We want exciting new flavor combinations. We want to get the mead to the people.
