We are expanding! 😮 We've taken on more space to make room for a new product line (coming soon), and to build a dedicated honey processing space. Thankfully it's right next door to our current spot 😁 This week we are giving it a deep clean and a repaint before we can fill it with delicious drinks!

🐝🎄 Merry Christmas from us, and the whole team at Hive Mind! 🎄❤️ We hope you are all having a well earned rest and a glass of mead 🥂

Your support this year has meant the world to us, it's wonderful to think of so many meady presents being enjoyed today. Thanks to everyone who has bought from us at all the markets, from our wonderful stockists and from our website. ❤️

Today is the last day of the Bristol Christmas Market in Broadmead!🎄

We've been dishing out mead since the start of November, so that's 53 days of bringing mead to the centre of Bristol 😯 Massive thankyou to everyone who has been down to visit our stand once again this year (our 5th year doing this). One unfortunate setback with being broken into over the weekend, but overall it's been great dishing out mead and talking so many of you again. After we pack down the market we'll be having a well earned rest (except for sending out mail orders between Christmas and new year) 😴

Come on down before 6pm for some last minute meads!

Happy Winter Solstice from all of us here at Hive Mind!

Today is the shortest day of the year, and a wonderful reminder of natures cycles and the gradual return of warmth and light 🌞🌚. This time of year is a good opportunity to reflect on the year (over a glass of Barrel Aged Mead) and make plans for the return of the warmth.

Mead is a wonderful accompaniment to the Solstice as the ingredients are made from the harvest from the previous year, and then in the case of the barrel aged versions, aged for a further year.

Cheers! 🥂

🎄It's beginning to look a lot like Meadmas! 🎄

Our Traditional Mead has been flying out for the season of feasting! It's wonderful to think of all the Christmas tables that will be featuring a bottle of mead! We've produced more of our Traditional Mead this year, than all the previous years combined, so thanks to everyone who has picked one up already 😁

Wondering how to enjoy our mead this Christmas?

Our Traditional Mead can be enjoyed in a huge variety of ways, here are some examples:

🍷 As it is! This one is simple, just pour yourself a glass of mead, room temperature works well, but it's also great chilled, or over ice (controversial 😯).

🍰 Our Traditional Mead is a wonderful after dinner drink, you can enjoy it just like a dessert wine, so pairing with a sweet treat is perfect.

🧀 We recommend pairing our mead with the fantastic Blue Wenalt cheese from - this creamy soft blue cheese has a wonderful salty finish, which goes beautifully with the delicious honey layers of our Traditional Mead. If you can't get your hands on any, Gorgonzola works too!

🧊 As a spritz! Have you tried a Honey Spritz? Fill a glass with ice and simply mix the mead 1:1 with tonic, with a squeeze of lime 🍋‍🟩

Please let us know in the comments how / when you enjoy yours 🥂

Say hello (or Ahoy) to our NEW Rum Aged Traditional Mead 🏴‍☠️🍯

Inspired by the Bristolian legend Blackbeard, we’ve taken the floral sweetness of traditional mead and added the warming spices of rum.

The result? A drink fit for winter nights (or a pirate’s treasure chest).

And because we’re feeling festive this Black Friday, we’re giving you a FREE glass with every purchase this weekend only—so you can drink like a true captain 🍻✨

Don’t let the cold shiver your timbers—grab your bottle now. Link in bio to shop!
