More information about Wacken mead
This mead was produced by hand by the brewers of the Wacken brewery.
Even in the 19th century, mead was believed to have a health-promoting effect*. Sebastian Kneipp said:
"Mead does a lot of good, it promotes good appetite, digestion, cleanses and strengthens the stomach and gets rid of unhealthy substances. The body is freed from what is detrimental to it. Its effect is very beneficial for the blood, all bodily fluids, the kidneys and bladder, because it cleanses everywhere, has a draining effect and dissolves. Mead is a tonic for all older people. Even the Germanic tribes enjoyed extraordinary health and lived to a ripe old age. They owed their health and old age to their mead in particular."
*Statement by Sebastian Kneipp (1821 to 1897)

Our small craft beer brewery was founded at the beginning of 2016 by three beer enthusiasts in the heart of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein. After months of planning and seemingly endless conversion work on a former supermarket, the time had finally come in mid-June: the brewing equipment was set up. Since then we have a so-called three-vessel brewhouse with a capacity of 20hl per brew, i.e. a yield of 2000 liters per brewing process. The beer is fermented and stored in five stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of 220hl. In addition, we have decided to operate our own bottling plant in order to be as...
