Gosnells, London’s only meadery, has opened a mead bar in a railway arch in Bermondsey, with capacity for more than 100 drinkers and outdoor space, too.
The bar’s draught selection is led by its new dry Wildflower Mead (4% ABV), which is drawn from the nectar of 45 species of flowers, bushes, and trees. It is gluten free and sparkling, with no added sulphites, made from a brew using 100% honey and with no added sugar.
“So many people are popping by to see what it’s all about, and we are excited to be able to offer them such a wide range of flavours, from 0% to 12% ABV,” said Tom Gosnell.
“The bar will provide a thought-provoking showcase and hopefully encourage guests to sample one of head brewer Will Grubelnik’s iterations of the world’s oldest alcoholic drink, mead. Our meads are based on just honey and water, fermented to show the brilliance of the honeybee and its flowers.”
He added: “The new bar has opened just in time for the London Marathon on Sunday, 2nd October. The race passes through Bermondsey, so what better way for guests to re-invigorate all the senses than by visiting the Bermondsey Mead Mile, surrounded by a cornucopia of amazing brewers.”
The mead bar will serve seven other meads on tap, including Raspberry Wildflower (5.4% ABV), Sweet Cherry (8% ABV) and a cloudy Mojito Mead at 5.5% ABV. There be 75cl bottles of Gosnells 5.5% ABV Classic and of Gosnells 12% ABV vintages, dating back to 2019. A range of 4% ABV canned meads, including Sour, Pink Hibiscus, and Hopped, will also be available.
Gosnells Wildflower Mead is already available in Portobello pubs in London, Laines pubs, Brewdog pubs, and independents. It is also in 440ml cans.
