Hive Mind: Tavern Mead – 8% ABV (750ml)

Inspired by the easy-drinking honey wines poured in historic taverns, Tavern Mead by Hive Mind is an approachable, modern take on the world’s oldest fermented drink. Sitting at a sessionable 8% ABV, this still mead is floral, gently rich, and crafted for effortless sipping in the hall.

Unlike commercial shortcuts that blend white wine bases with honey flavouring or neutral spirits, Hive Mind brews the proper way: 100% real honey, slow fermentation, and time. The result is a smooth, rounded sweetness balanced by natural floral undertones and a clean, mellow finish.
