Lost Cause Meadery Jäkel 375ML

Lost Cause Meadery Jäkel

Five years ago we released what is still one of our favorite meads to date. “Devilish Grin” was a tart cherry and black pepper mead that, besides being insanely delicious, was also responsible for our very first Mazer Cup medal.

We decided it was finally time to bring it back, yet as Jäkel, a richer and bolder version of the original inspiration.

This time we paired the Montmorency tart cherries and black pepper with radish blossom honey from Oregon, and went bigger on pretty much everything.

The result is a bit of a conundrum: a dark and complex sipping mead that is also very approachable and way too easy to enjoy.

Prior to opening the meadery Billy was a national and international award-winning home mead maker, earning over 35 medals in three years including four medals from the Mazer Cup International, the world’s largest mead competition.

During that time his research on mead making techniques was published in Zymurgy Magazine and American Mead Maker, the official journal of the American Mead Maker Association, and he became a BJCP Certified Mead Judge.
