​Thank you all for your patience!

We finally have a map of all the locations that carry our mead including Massachusetts!

If you don't see your favorite bar or beer store on there, just ask them to pick it up from Mass Beverage Alliance!

You can hardly throw a stone in Vermont without clocking Ricky the Meadmaker in the eye halfway through a random speaking engagement.

Kelly the Boss, however, is the most valuable asset the company has, so she only takes the stage for incredibly important events.

Tomorrow, VT Human Resources Association is hosting a colloquium on New Parents in the Workplace.

Supporting working families is something that means so much to our company that not only will Kelly be there, she's one of the featured presenters. It's not too late to sign up!

It's finally happening! Havoc Mead is launching an epic bike ride and campout from the Mead Hall in just a few weeks!

Havoc’s Bike Like a Viking Campout
August 24-25th at Underhill State Park

Ride the 23 miles from the Mead Hall to our own private group camp site nestled in the foothills of Mt. Mansfield where you can explore the state’s natural beauty on any of the numerous hiking trails in the park including the Sunset Ridge Trail, a 3 mile hike to the summit of Vermont’s tallest peak, or rest at camp as our Chef cooks up a feast fit for hungry Vikings and cyclists. Enjoy the feasting and fires before returning with your friends to one of the tent sites or covered lean-tos. Awaken to a hearty breakfast and coffee before biking back to the Mead Hall.

All Riders 21+ will have an opportunity to sample our craft meads before the ride and pick out a four pack of their choice to enjoy at the campsite. Riders under 21 will be able to pick out a 4-pack of soda.

Skill level: Intermediate, riding on roads with traffic

Price: $45 Tickets available through Eventbrite and at the Mead Hall. Must be purchased in advance.

You will need:

• Helmet (Viking or otherwise)
• A bike, with all of your gear loaded up
• Whatever you need to have a good night's sleep (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, little pillow, etc.)
• Snacks: Road snacks, water for the ride, and a lunch. Our chef will be cooking a Viking dinner and a breakfast in the morning before breaking camp. Drinking water is available at the campsite.

We're thrilled to announce that both Groennfell Meadery and Havoc Mead are now available throughout Massachusetts wherever fine craft beverages are sold!

We've teamed up with Massachusetts Beverage Alliance to distribute all of our year-round products across the Bay State in cans and on draft.

All you have to do to get a frosty pint of mead in your hand is to ask your local store and favorite bar to carry it for you.

Just tell them to reach out to their sales rep at MBA or one of their alliance partners:

• Atlas Distributing – Central Massachusetts
• Colonial Wholesale Beverage – Southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod & Islands
• Commercial Distributing – Western Massachusetts
• Merrimack Valley Distributing – North Shore

Or you can always e-mail us at info@groennfell.com.

Come toast to a safe journey as Kelly, Ricky, and Nora prepare for a week of travel, release parties, and adventures in Massachusetts!

It would be great to see some familiar faces before they set off for parts unknown.

So, grab a pint, wish them luck, and spend some quality time with the Viking Baby - for who knows what these foreign lands might bring!

Join us at the Mead Hall on Saturday, July 21 from 4-9 pm, and check out the Facebook event for more info.

Thanks to Massachusetts Beverage Alliance for helping us get everything ready! Release party announcements coming soon!

We're incredibly excited to announce that we're sponsoring the Vermont Viking Invasion on September 22nd in Killington, VT!

Historical reenactors from around the world will be coming to our Green Mountains for one weekend to teach, feast, battle, and drink.

Since the organization is committed to teaching the public about historically accurate Viking-era culture, the event is free to the public thanks to a combination of fundraising and private donors.

Check out the Facebook page here and keep checking our blog for more information as the day approaches! 

It's Vermont Renaissance Faire 2018 weekend!
