29/05/2022 10:00 - 29/05/2022 16:00GB Mead @ Newbury Artisan Market
WHY MEAD?
Starting in the early 1990's being involved in dark age re-enactment meant mead was the drink to have round the campfire.
Before the internet finding a bottle or two of mead to pick up on the way involved detouring to a pre arranged off-licence who had some in stock.
HOW WE STARTED
As it happened I knew a few bee keepers so making my own seemed the best option. Later having moved over to Medieval re-enactment mead was still the drink to have so I began to take a boot full, and when that wasn’t enough we moved on to having a stall
As is often the case with home brewers, the under stairs cupboard is rapidly outgrown, and there is nothing like enthusiasm, so having progressed through a variety of spaces, now we have a commercial unit in order to keep up with demand and expand our range, and are now licensed to include retail and wholesale through the AWRS scheme
ROAD MAP
We are always on the look out for new outlets!
We are now stocked in many off licences and farm shops, pubs, restaurants and boutique bars.
We also supply mead to hand fastings and weddings, where mead makes an excellent toasting drink.
If you would like your local to stock our excellent mead, get them to contact us and we will do the rest!
