with Neilson Meadery: The Perfect Pour for Every Occasion

When it comes to hosting unforgettable events, every detail counts—from the décor and music to the menu and drinks. At Neilson Meadery, we understand that exceptional beverages aren’t just an accompaniment—they’re an experience. That’s why we craft meads that are more than just drinks; they’re conversation starters, memory makers, and a touch of sophistication for any occasion.

Why Choose Mead for Your Event?

Mead, often called the “nectar of the gods,” is enjoying a renaissance. Its unique flavours and smooth character make it a versatile choice for a wide range of events: weddings, corporate functions, pop-up bars, and casual gatherings. Unlike traditional wines or beers, mead offers a distinct, luxurious experience that sets your event apart and delights guests of all ages.


Custom Flavours to Match Your Vision

From the comforting sweetness of our traditional mead to the bold, experimental blends of our apple pie inspired cyzer, each batch is carefully crafted by Vivian Neilson, a master mazer. He has over a decade of experience creating our meads. The meads can be paired with event themes, menus, or even custom branding, giving your function a bespoke touch that guests will remember long after the last toast.
