World’s Edge Meadery

Traditional Mead

Mead is one of the oldest and most universal alcoholic beverages in existence, enjoyed by the Vikings, Mayans, Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, and Romans alike. World’s Edge Meadery is doing its park in helping explore, preserve, and educate people about this historic, important beverage. Our Traditional Mead speaks for itself as an honest interpretation of what the Greeks called the “nectar of the gods.” Clean honeyed flavors shine through a soft palate, with background notes of jasmine, orange, and thyme. Wonderful with roast chicken, summer salads, creamy soups, or a mixed cheese plate.

Orange Blossom Mead

Just like wines made from different grapes will be different, so too will meads from different honeys. Here, orange blossom honey plays a base to our driest and lightest mead. Citrus aromas explode from the glass, orange blossoms and bergamot playing off the whispers of honied sweetness. This is a refreshing, focused mead that is a lovely pair for spicy foods, especially Asian dishes.

Calm

The honey in mead, beyond its flavor and sweetness, has also contributed to a history of mead as a healthful beverage. Since ancient times, mead was given to treat the ill, and as a present to newlyweds, the origin of the honeymoon. To tell the story of mead is to understand all of its pieces, which is why our ‘Calm’ mead seeks to marry the health powers of honey with the traditional uses of chamomile. Chamomile is used here not only to adds it sweeter floral flavors to our mead, but as a piece of history for its role in settling anxiety and soothing stomachs. Our Chamomile mead shows a lovely blend of the flower’s pleasing aromas blended with the smooth flavors of traditional mead. A wonderful treat on its own, with shortbread cookies, or with sushi.

Cyser

Cyser, mead from a blend of honey and apples, is one of the oldest of the Melomels, fruit-flavored meads, in existence. It is the epitome of preserving a harvest, with fresh apples and newly collected honey coming together in a flavorful blend of a season’s hard work. Our ‘Cyser’ apple mead builds on this tradition and history, including our region’s own fantastic abundance of apples to make a distinct, delicious beverage worthy of its roots. A nose of crisp, honeyed apples gives way to a lifted, clean palate, brightened by the apple’s natural sweetness and enriched by the depth of honey. Try with roasted squash, served alongside of pork chops or roasts, or with cinnamon-sugar donuts for the perfect fall treat.

Bequile

Fruit and mead have gone together since antiquity, as ways to preserve good harvests, to add flavor to mead, and to increase the variety of meads. Melomels, fruit-flavored meads, have their own place right beside their pure-honey siblings. In ‘Beguile,’ we seek to continue the tradition of the Rudamel, or raspberry meads, and we combine the clean, focused style of our traditional mead with the lovely ripe fruitiness of fresh raspberries. The aroma shows just-picked raspberries bursting with juice, which carries over into a palate with whispers of honeyed spice to add complexity. This is the perfect drink for summer afternoons, with fresh salad and a vinaigrette, a slice of cheesecake, or a bowl of summer berries.

Masala

The first references to Masala come from ancient religious texts from the Indian subcontinent. The blend of spices in Masala were used as a medicinal beverage, alongside tea, and it is unique to who prepares it. Our owner, Michael Jackson, saw the natural combination of this blend with the natural properties and flavors of honey, and sought to combine them in our ‘Masala’ Chai Tea Mead. Masala combines the natural sweetness of honey with notes of cardamom, clove, ginger, and vanilla. A fantastic beverage on its own, but a lovely pairing with carrot cake, soft cheeses, and sweet potatoes.
