At Mjøderiet, they make a megamix every year. It's a unique blend of different meads and/or ingredients that they've been working with all year. They then add other ingredients to the mix and taste it until they agree it's delicious.
This year's Megamix is a subtle yet complex sparkling mead with blueberries, strawberries, rhubarb, lemon, elderflower and a hint of chilli.

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.

Production process
This mead was made cold. This means that during its production, the honey was not heated above 40-45 °C, which is the normal temperature in nature to which honey is resistant. At higher temperatures, some precious components of honey can be damaged and degraded. Cold-made mead is the best choice.
Producer Mjøderiet

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.
