Description:
Kvasir Mead is a tribute to the Norse god of wisdom and inspiration, Kvasir, whose life and death gave rise to the mythical “Mead of Poetry.” In Norse mythology, Kvasir was born from the saliva of the gods, a being of pure wisdom who traveled the realms, sharing his knowledge with gods and mortals alike. However, Kvasir’s life was cut short when he was betrayed and killed by two dwarves. From his blood, mixed with honey, the first Mead of Poetry was created—a drink that bestowed wisdom and eloquence upon all who drank it. The legend of Kvasir continues to inspire those who seek to tap into the wellspring of knowledge and creativity, just as our Kvasir Mead captures the richness and depth of his story. This Blueberry Mead reflects Kvasir’s wisdom with a harmonious blend of sweet blueberries and rich honey. The blueberries offer a burst of vibrant, natural sweetness, balanced perfectly by the complex, golden undertones of honey. The result is a deep, luscious flavor that is both refreshing and contemplative, evoking the thoughtful spirit of Kvasir himself. The mead’s smooth texture and balanced sweetness make it easy to sip, while the richness of the honey adds layers of depth, much like the layers of wisdom Kvasir shared in his life. With each glass, Kvasir Mead invites you to experience a connection to the Norse god’s legacy, letting the sweetness of blueberries and the richness of honey inspire wisdom and creativity. Kvasir Mead has earned numerous awards, including 3rd Place Fruit Mead at the 10th New York International Beer Competition and 2nd Place Best of Show at the 2021 Domras Cup. This mead is a testament to the brewer’s craft, honoring Kvasir’s tale and the profound inspiration his myth continues to bring to all who seek wisdom in their cup.
