For the Nidhoggr Mead Special we are joined by the founder of Nidhoggr Mead Co, Peter Michael Taylor.

Before we are joined by Pete the hosts, Lord West and Lord Jackson discuss which cheese pairs best with Nidhoggr mead and discuss mead and its association with Vikings. We also discuss how Mead & Cheese has influenced the mead community.

Lord West and Lord Jackson also discuss Nidhoggr as a business, including how it won awards, it’s strong branding and how it greatly interacts with the community in Yorkshire. We also tell our listeners where they can buy Nidhoggr mead in Leicester.

Peter then joins us from his hotel in Buxton to answer all of our questions about Nidhoggr, including how he first started getting into mead making, using locally sourced honey, his work with the Save The Bees campaign, how he came about the flavours of Nidhoggr mead, which cheeses he think pairs best with Nidhoggr, the awards he has won.

Pete also promises to make us a cheese flavoured mead as well as telling us about his mead making process. Pete also goes into detail about how the cost of living crisis has affected his business. We then talk about people’s misconceptions of mead and how there is a mead out there for everyone, going on to talk about our favourite mead cocktails.

The hosts then have Pete play a game of two truths and a lie about mead. Pete then talks about his plans to create a maple syrup based mead which would be a vegan friendly mead.

To finish off the show we have Pete pitch to us an advert for cheese mead in a game of Pitch Invasion™.
