Michael Fairbrother began making mead in 1995 and has been perfecting and experimenting with this ancient beverage ever since. Mead was the very first alcoholic beverage produced, even before beer, with evidence of it found in China as early as 7,000BC! Michael only ever uses True Source or Organic Certified honey for his meads to ensure its quality and that it comes from ethical farmers; everything else is sourced as locally and sustainably as possible. The ‘Red Dress’ includes local red currants and has a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors and tiny bit of tannic grip. Pair this with any berry dessert or alongside a creamy gorgonzola dolce!
