Inspired by a traditional Vietnamese ice cream, the bold star anise flavor may be too beaucoup for you. The white cardamom, juniper berries, orange zest and lime zest give it a twist that might seem like a major malfunction, but works together like a Marine and his rifle. Now sound off like you got a pair!

Less than 50 bottles of these were made, and we took a bunch for ourselves. So, you definitely won't find these on store shelves. They're only available at the meadery for a VERY limited time. We really want you to have one, but you probably won't get one because we didn't make enough. I guess it says something about the dichotomy of man, sir!

In the Spring of 2011, we released an experimental new mead that would change history. Little did we know, that the concoction would have a devastating effect on the zombie population that has been plaguing the Earth. When we released this mead to the general public, the lines were out the door. When we ran out, a general panic set in. For the good of mankind, we are re-releasing this antidote to the public on November 4th and 5th at the meadery. There is no limit on the number of bottles you can purchase. Good luck, and godspeed.

Simi Hendrix born Simian J. Monkenstein lived hard and drank well, one night in Belgium after a show during a wildberry induced purple haze Simian was mixing wildflower honey, tart Balton cherry juice and dry-hopped Styrian Goldings. The result? A Funky Belgian–inspired hopped cherry melomel.  This revolutionary concoction was the inspiration for the mega hit ‘Funky Monky‘ sadly, Simi has disappeared into the French countryside but in his absence he has left us with an imperial libation to be treasured and savored. Don’t miss this its too funking good to pass up.

Have you ever seen that little label on the back of a bottle of B. Nektar Mead? You know, the one with all the numbers on it that looks like it's a price sticker? Well it's a batch number. Every bottle of mead we produce comes with a handy dandy batch number which, if you know how to read it, will tell you exactly when it was made, and the batch number. Here's how it works.

In the picture above, the bottle is from Release 46, made in September of 2009.

The first 3 numbers represent the batch number.

The last 4 numbers represent the month and year the mead was made.

We do realize that we have a Y21K problem. We're working on it. :)
