We are dedicated to using only the highest quality ingredients sourced from local farms and beekeepers, and to creating meads that push the boundaries of flavor and creativity.
Our Cherry Blood mead is a classic European-style mead, intertwined with pagan lore and sacred ritual. Cherries and honey, the staple ingredients, were mixed with sour cherry and vanilla to create a new-world flavor suitable for the American palate. The result is a balanced and delicious mead, which pays homage to the Norse peoples who mastered the art of mead-making.With 14% ABV, our Cherry Blood mead is perfect for any occasion.
