Beef goulash with homeade spaetzle.

I am just proud. As a professional Meadmaker this is the highest honour one can get:
Gold for Hungg in the biggest international mead-competition!

No filtering, no added Sulphur, and made with the idea to let the bees stand out.

Tastes a bit like jagermeister.
I still prefer mead and ale, or a good whisky.

Hail to the ancient Jotnar,
Guardians of the wild and untamed,
I offer a feast of meat, eggs and honey mead from my land.
To honor your strength and wisdom.

Thor, son of Jord, who battles with might,
Loki, trickster of the frost,
Skadi, fierce goddess of the mountains,
I acknowledge your kin, the giants of old.

May this offering be a bridge
Between the realms of man and Jotunheim,
Bringing peace, understanding, and respect.
Hail to the Jotnar, ancient and enduring.

Fresh Pesto Genovese on penne
Homeade Pork Bolognese on penne
And Alfredo penne with a side of roasted garlic and parmasean bread.

Im not part of the company anymore, but its still my absolute favorite mead. Probably one of the very best around, since i have tried a ton of different ones.

Meat, Mead and great people
