Annapurna Mead makes non-traditional hand-crafted mead made from local honey. Mead is a honey wine and the oldest alcoholic beverage in the world.
Our story is about Transformation.
From the pollen of flowers, along the thousands of miles flown by bees' wings, honey is a process of transformation. A product of nature made by nature to sustain nature, honey transforms, adds to, not removes from.
Honey in its natural state never spoils. It doesn't rot, it has antibacterial properties and was fermented into the oldest documented alcohol ever found. Honey goes the distance.'
In 2010, husband and wife duo, Patrick and Amalia, quit their jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area and went a traveling. A major highlight of their travels was to Nepal where they backpacked for a month around the Annapurna mountain range. Even though it rained most days, the hiking was hard and the air thin, their glimpses of the white capped Himalayas were inspiring and inspired. To them every trek, every journey, every task endeavored should be transformative.
With an in-depth experience of the west coast wine business, Patrick set out to create something new, something tasty. A brief stint in the honey business convinced him that honey wine (Mead) was missing its limelight. That Mead offers so much more than overly sweet, high alcohol, coma-inducing bottlings.
Thus began the quest that is now Annapurna Mead. The quest to reimagine Mead for a modern world and modern drinkers.
Annapurna Mead takes the best of nature, the transformative workings of millions of bees to create refreshing, sparkling meads that are served exclusively on tap right next to your favorite craft beers and ciders. Mead is naturally Gluten Free and is perfect for those looking for alternatives to over-the-top craft beers and apple-centric ciders.
To launch mead out of obscurity and into our mouths. :)
