Njord mead

Exquisite apple with a pear buff.

An apple mead (yes, yes, MEAD, not cider) whose chill is born from the fresh roots of apple trees. But careful — because we wondered how we could make something even better, and since you already know we don’t do ordinary things, we decided to bring pear to the forefront above any other fruity aroma or flavour you might find in this fleeting seasonal nectar.

In this mead, the juicy sweetness of pear blends with honey notes reminiscent of the most exquisite Elven cellars (like the ones Bilbo found in Mirkwood), complemented by the liveliness of apple, adding a sweet and slightly acidic touch. Together they offer a balanced flavour profile: not too sweet, not too tart. Our situational pairing recommendation is to enjoy it on those extreme‑heat days when you hide at home under the blessed breath of the air conditioner. On any of those scorching days, you’d be more than willing to face as many yetis as needed in exchange for spending a few hours on the icy planet of Hoth.
Unfortunately, the Millennium Falcon doesn’t exist and you can’t travel to frozen planets — but at least you can chill your tankard properly with our seasonal mead while watching The Empire Strikes Back. Not bad at all.

PS: On another note, we love giving advice no one asked for, so here’s one: store your mead in a cool place and away from direct sunlight; it’s the best way to enjoy it as if you’d bought it yesterday (but please, we beg you, make sure it’s before the best‑before date).
