Afon Mel

Mead is one of the world's oldest alcoholic drinks, made by fermenting honey with water. Unlike wine or beer, its flavour comes primarily from the honey itself, giving it a naturally rich, smooth character that varies with the type of honey and ageing process used.

Yes. Because mead is made from honey and water rather than grain, it's naturally gluten-free, making it a good option for those avoiding gluten.

Mead can be served chilled or at room temperature depending on style, and unopened bottles keep well stored upright in a cool, dark place. Once opened, we recommend enjoying within a few weeks for the best flavour.

ABV varies by style, but traditionally brewed meads like ours typically range from around 10–14%, similar in strength to wine.

Yes we deliver to addresses across the UK, including major cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham and Cardiff, with next day delivery.

Afon Mel has been brewing in West Wales for over 20 years, using traditional barrel and bottle ageing to develop depth of flavour. This dedication to craft earned their Heather Mead the Great Taste Golden Fork award for Wales's best food or drink.
