VALKNUT MEADERY AUSTRALIA
New Meads Coming Soon!
AUSSIE BREWED MEAD
We are a very new, very small MEADERY situated in Crows Nest, Queensland, Australia. We produce around 5,000 bottles a year but are hoping to expand. No matter how big we grow, VALKNUT MEADERY will never get so big that we forget about the TLC and ATTENTION our mead deserves.
OUR MEAD: THE FLAVOURS
Smoky Oak Sweet Mead
This is a traditional Mead aged on American Oak. VERY SMOOTH.
Goes great straight on the rocks or with Honey Whisky.
Ginger Honey Sweet Mead
This is a SWEET mead with good honey notes and MEDIUM STRENGTH ginger aged for 10 months.
It’s possibly our best mead yet!
Meada Colada Tropical Mead
This is a very light and refreshing style SEMI-SWEET mead blended with Aussie PINEAPPLES and a hint of COCONUT. This one is served best on ice or with a dash of white rum.

WHAT IS MEAD?
Many call it HONEY WINE, and that's somewhat right, but instead of fermenting grapes, we ferment HONEY WITH WATER.
Both of those ingredients are technically really good for you. Mead was and still is often considered
SACRED and was even used for medicinal purposes. This info can possibly help you to keep telling yourself that the combination is somehow really healthy! (Drink responsibly)
Mead is the
OLDEST alcohol known to man, & much like the mullet, it’s making a comeback!
RED HILL MEAD SHOW AWARDS
The Red Hill Mead Show is THE BIGGEST MEAD COMPETITION in Australia. In February 2022, out of OVER 90 ENTRIES, we scored a gold medal for the Lime Mead and a silver medal for the Raspberry Coconut mead in the melomel (mead with fruit) category.
The Lime Mead also won the top award for the BEST MEAD OF THE COMPETITION with a score of 47/50. Big thanks to the show and their sponsors. They obviously have great tastebuds.

ALL THANKS TO THE BEES
We use OVER A TONNE of honey each year, supplied by LOCAL beekeepers. Their hives are located in and around local national parks to make sure they get that awesome Australian BUSH HONEY.
Valknut Meadery would like to thank the 1.2+ million bees that make our honey every year.
Please do your part to look after them!
NO BEES = NO MEAD
