Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

The internet is slowly changing as far as the sales of Mead goes and there are some great small Meaderies that are making their products available to online customers. Selling across the US can be difficult because each state has its own liquor laws and requirements. But things are improving and the meadery I talk about in this blogpost currently ships online to about 13 states. You can see a list of these states on their website (Hidden Valley Winery). It is too late to get some mead for Christmas but you may be able to get some for the new years celebration.

Anyway, about this meadery. They are located in Montana, which in my opinion is a very good place for a meadery to be located because the most important thing about mead making is the quality of ingredients you use and you know out in Montana they are just simply going to have the best honey, elderberries, huckleberry and more.

What they Make:

six different meads and a dandelion wine.

• Pure Honey Mead
  Hidden Legend Pure Honey Mead is a tastefully contemporary version of man’s oldest wine. Crafted in the style of a semi-dry table wine….
• Dark Mead A direct descendant of our most popular mead, this robust yet semi-dry wine is made from a darkened honey that produces rich tones and clearly defined layers of flavor….
• Wild Elderberry Mead
  This delicious elderberry mead has the mouth feel and texture of a red wine, together with the taste of honey….
• Spiced Mead has a special place in the history of many cultures…..
• Huckleberry Mead
  Purely seasonal, purely dependent on good berry years, and purely delightful….
• Chokecherry Mead
  Chokecherry mead is a true Montana wine and the winner of our first gold medal…..

If you never tried mead before and are curious about it I recommend you start with their Pure Honey Mead. It will give you a great first taste into the world of mead. They also have variety packs (at a discount) if you want to do some sampling.

About their bottles of Mead

I simply love their mascot (The Viking seen above) and their bottles are beautifully designed. These are the kinds of bottles that you either save when done or remove the labels from to add to your label collection.

Here is a sample of a label:
