Description

Our sweet black currant mead, Black Agnes, is named after one boisterous Scottish wench who successfully defended the Scottish Castle of Dunbar during a five-month siege by William Montague, the Earl of Salisbury. While relatively unknown in the United States, black currants have been grown in the British Isles for more than five hundred years, and used by herbalists since the Middle Ages. Sharply tart and acidic, the potent flavors of the fruit are perfectly balanced by the sweetness of premium honey to create a particularly unique, memorable and delicious mead.

Schramm's Mead

Ferndale, MI - USAMead got its big boost in the United States from homebrewers. It was part of the "homebrewing" boom that Charlie Papazian started in the 1980s. That's how Ken Schramm became a fan.He made his first mead in 1988. He started his first competition with friends of his, which strengthened the group spirit and knowledge about it. His friend, Dan McConnell, and Ken also made a fresh batch of 13 ways with six different honeys fermented with the same yeast. And then the same honey with six different yeasts. And then the six honeys blended with the first yeast. They presented it at an American Homebrewers Association conference in 1992. People loved it and they've been doing it ever since.
