about the hive.

Hive Mind Mead & Brew Co began life as Wye Valley Meadery and was started in 2018 by brothers Matt and Kit Newell. Based in the beautiful Welsh borders, our bees gather honey from a special region giving a unique but varied terroir to our mead.

With a whole host of Great Taste awards, including the Golden Fork For Wales, our products have proven to be some of the best in the country.

Without bees, our entire ecosystem would be in jeopardy so it is our mission to help protect them and all pollinators, through education, ethical sustainable beekeeping, and highlighting their work through our delicious range of mead.

what is mead?

Mead is an alcoholic drink that is made by fermenting honey with water, and often includes various fruits, spices, grains, or hops. It is one of the oldest known alcoholic drinks.

Often dubbed the "nectar of the gods," mead has a rich history dating back thousands of years, with roots in various cultures worldwide. It was often associated with celebrations and rituals, and its popularity has fluctuated across different time periods and regions.
