Braggi Mead, named after the Norse god of poetry and eloquence, is a bold and inspiring blend of flavors that channels the spirit of creativity, celebration, and the power of the spoken word. In Norse mythology, Braggi was renowned for his silver tongue, his ability to craft and recite poems of great beauty and meaning. He was a symbol of wisdom, storytelling, and the joy that comes from gathering with others to share in song and verse. Just as Braggi’s words had the power to inspire, this mead’s vibrant flavors evoke a similar sense of celebration and creativity. The mead itself is a masterful blend of blood orange and cranberry, offering a dynamic combination of sweet, tart, and zesty flavors. The blood orange brings a bold, citrus-forward zing, a flavor as bright and invigorating as Braggi’s poetic voice. Its sharpness cuts through the mead, creating an exciting first impression that awakens the palate. Cranberry adds a sweet-tart balance, softening the intensity of the blood orange while introducing its own layered complexity, much like the balance between thought and emotion in poetry. The harmony between the two fruits mirrors the rhythm and flow of a well-crafted verse, building depth and intrigue with every sip. As the mead evolves on the palate, the vibrant fruit flavors gradually give way to a smooth, honeyed finish, leaving a lingering sense of warmth and satisfaction, much like the lasting impression of a well-told story. Braggi Mead has been recognized for its excellence, earning 2nd Place at the 2021 Winemaker Magazine WineMaker Competition and Valkyrie’s Horn, and 1st Place at the 2021 SNAFU Winterfest. Each sip is a tribute to the Norse god of poetry, a drink that both honors tradition and inspires the creativity within all who enjoy it.
