A Note on This Beer

In Norse mythology, there is a magical Mead that transforms any drinker into the wisest of scholars. And in Brazilian folklore, the gods placed beehives high in the jungle canopy so humans had to exercise for their honey.

While I can’t promise you that drinking today’s Bilburana Mead will turn you into an academic or an athlete, it is curious that Garagiste concocted a honey-soaked fusion of flavors from Scandinavia AND Brazil. Are they creating a fanbase of superhumans?

Perhaps it’s all coincidence — these brewers love to combine traditional European fruit Mead with new-world flavors, and they do exactly that in today’s jammy exploration:

  • It’s packed with Scandanavian Bilberries — the sweeter, tangier cousin of American blueberries. 
  • The brewers use organic Brazilian honey that oozes with floral notes and citrus. 
  • They ferment all this sweet goodness in Brazilian Amburana wood for hints of earthy spice. 


Plus, a 12% ABV makes this smooth and rich Nordic-Latin combo a true super brew — whether or not it has any actual mythical powers! 

*East Coast Meadmaker of the Year, Garagiste has 3 out of the top 25 Meads in the world on Untappd! They’re Best Florida Beer Competition Gold Medalists and 4x Medalists at Mazer Cup International!

So my guess is this tasted just as a mead is supposed to. Having not tried one before, I had high hopes. Truth is, it didn't appeal to me at all. Way too syrupy and sweet with an almost medicinal aftertaste. I'm not disappointed i tried it; just wasn't my thing

I’m known among my friends as drinking “juice” when it come to my beer and cocktail choices. This is sweeter than juice. I can only sip at it. It tastes like a mix of berry-flavored cold medicine and Glogg.

The honey is a bit much at first, but you get used to it. (If you’ve never had mead before) But man is that berry flavor delicious. I recommend.

Solid - a tad overly sweet. Garagiste never disappoints
