Lurgashall Mead:
Lurgashall Mead is produced at the Lurgashall Winery, on the ancient Manorial Estate of Windfallwood Common, near Petworth in West-Sussex, where mead, fruit and flower wines and liqueurs have been produced to the highest standards, using old village recipes.

Hanssens Gueze:
Each batch of the Gueuze offers different aromas and flavors only based on the century old knowledge of the Hanssens family. It's bottled, corked and stored in the cellar for secondary fermentation at 50o-55oF for over one year. In this case 3 year old Gueze.

Charles Finkel - Merchant du Vin:
A primeval, perfect pint. Early most brewsters surely made a drink with spontaneously fermented malt and wheat, along with good measure [30%] mead [honey beverage]. Here, a super sensual perfume flares one's nostrils, like those of a wild animal. Complex contrast defines the fruity taste which begs for flavorful food. We served it with mixed organic vegetables and sustainably grown lamb. The balance of acidity and sweetness complemented each dish. Afterward my sweetie and I shared the glass with a local, organic pear, raw-mil Roquefort and olive bread. We are back on our honeymoon.
