Secondly, our Blueberry Pancake šŸ„ž Mead won First/Gold MedalšŸ„‡ at the Royal Adelaide Show
🄳 šŸŽ‰ šŸŽˆ

Our Smoky Oak, Teatree Traditional and Citrus Mead all took home Silver Medals. With four meads entered and receiving four medals, we’re pretty darn chuffed.

Our pancake mead is still available at our cellar door, our local retailers and of course straight from our online store at https://www.valknutmeadery.com.au/

How pretty does this look!?
For the next few months, these are the meads we’ll be taking to our markets:

šŸ“Semi-Dry Strawberry Mead
A much less-sweet mead with hints of honey and strawberry.

🌿Meadowsweet Floral Mead
Using the ancient flower from Europe, the Meadowsweet, we are reviving this ancient style of mead. We get the flower in from Poland and make a big tea and ferment it with honey. Evidence of Meadowsweet being used in mead goes as far back as 4,500 years šŸ—æ

šŸ‹ā€šŸŸ©Citrus Mead
Light & refreshing mead using our very own limes and local Cumquats.

šŸÆSmoky Oak Traditional Mead
The Champion MeadšŸ†of many competitions and our best seller. We use local teatree honey and age well with American Oak. It’s like a soft honey sherry.
ā€¼ļøPlease note that for the first time in 4 years, the Smoky Oak will sell out. We will eventually have to have a few months without it to catch up on its ageing. I’ll try my best to stretch it out but I seriously doubt we will have any available for December.

🄄Raspberry Coconut Dessert Mead
A big hello to its return. We ferment raw honey with local organic raspberries, then aged 18 months with coconut. A sweet berry start with a refreshing coconut finish in every sip. I was inspired by Iced Vovos when creating this.

šŸŒ¶ļøChilli Lime Spiced Mead
Local limes and our homegrown birdseye chillies, this mead is super refreshing with a medium kick of chilli. Goes great in margaritas

Find these meads every weekend at the Toowoomba Farmers Market and other surrounding markets, or from our online store at Valknutmeadery.com.au

What an honour to have Mr Greybeard write a song about our Smoky Oak.
We love it!

Sometimes I feel like we have too many mead options.
It is usually a struggle deciding which meads to take to certain markets at certain times of the year, as we can’t have them ALL on the shelf at the same time. BUT, we can certainly have them all available at our cellar door for those that wish to try the full range.

Our Gold MedalšŸ„‡ Raspberry Coconut Dessert mead is BACK after 2 years of patiently waiting. We wanted to release it last year but we had quite a lot of meads available at the time so figured we’d let it age for a bit longer.
And it was worth the wait.

This mead was fermented using a blend of local raw honey, along with local or****ic, oops, I meant ORGANIC raspberries from Hampton Blue. We then aged it a little with roasted coconut flakes, and then aged some more. The result is a sweet raspberry mead during your first sip, with a fresh coconut finish on the exhale.

I know many of our long term supporters are going to be all over this one. It is a small batch and we have decided that this will be the last time we release it.

Our Raspberry Coconut Dessert Mead will be available from our markets from the start of September for Spring, and is available now from our online store at valknutmeadery.com.au

Well that’s a wrap!
I would have loved to add more photos of the Buhurt, jousting and all the other cool things at the Southern Realm Festival, but we simply didn’t have time.

There were two things that were a big hit with us:
Our new Citrus Mead was extremely popular. It really is delicious and officially my new personal favourite, and;
the Valknut thrones. Hundreds of people were getting photos of themselves on our chairs. They were a hit! And awesome free advertising for us šŸ˜Ž

The whole festival went very smoothly, with thousands of people dressing up and getting into the old time spirit. It was great catching up with other local meaderies; Iron Hills Meadery, Amrita Park Meadery, Stellar Spirits & Mount Stirling Meadery. It’s always great tasting the other meads to remind ourselves just how unique all our meads are. We all make something a little different so hopefully there’s something for everyone between us all. It’s important that all the meaderies work together to help grow the industry and mead awareness in Australia āœŠšŸ¼

The organisers did an amazing job, thank you to The Drunken Farmhand and the Boonah Show Society. We all have huge amounts of respect for the time and effort needed to go into such a successful festival, and we 100% hope to be back next year.

Time for a few days rest 😓 before we start prepping for the monthlong Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers
