If you’re looking for a gift that’s a little different, mead is a great choice. It sits somewhere between wine and craft drinks, making it ideal for people who enjoy trying something new without being too obscure. It’s a drink that everyone has heard of, but not everyone has tried, so there is a good opportunity to give them something they’ve not had before.
Whether you’re buying for a birthday, a thank-you, or a seasonal celebration, these gift ideas will help you choose the right mead for any occasion.

Gifts for Craft Beer Fans
For craft beer drinkers, traditional or barrel-aged mead often appeals most. These styles have more body and depth, making them suitable for slow sipping. We’d also recommend our sparkling meads and our range of honey beers too!
Good options include:
-
Traditional still meads
-
Barrel-aged or small batch releases
-
Sparkling light meads
-
Honey beers
