Golden Coast Mead crafts authentic, modern meads that delight ecologically conscious and adventurous consumers. We endeavor to restore the health of the honeybee through the transformation of the honey market. We intend to lead the mead category as a creative, quality and regenerative force for good in the world. WHAT IS MEAD? Mead is alcohol which is produced by fermenting honey. It is the oldest alcoholic beverage in the world. The Ethiopian Kings drank it, Beowulf drank it. Aristotle, Shakespeare... they all drank it. And so did your great-great-great- fore mommas and papas. The agricultural revolution came around and made grapes and grain easier to harvest for wine and beer. Mead regrettably, was ignored for something easier and cheaper to produce. Today mead is making a comeback. Golden Coast Mead is a craft beverage company dedicated to making delightful, authentic meads that are good for the earth. DELIGHTFUL We want the meads we make to be delightfully surprising. Flavor foremost, but story and adventure as well. AUTHENTIC We endeavor to make mead and run our business in ways that resonate with our sense of what is good. GOOD FOR THE PLANET We endeavor to be a force for good in the world, specifically by helping bees, bee keepers and the ecosystems they and we depend on. We give 1% of our gross revenue to causes that help bees thrive. Save the Bees. Drink Mead. Our Meads are Different. Lighter bodied, honey forward but balanced, we make most of our meads with ale yeast, a 1-to-4 California Honey to San Diego Spring Water Ratio, and an element like oak or lactobacillus to balance the finish. We want our meads to drink like a refreshing ale or invigorating sparkling wine, we want them to spread mirth, and arouse people to the beauty of life. Sunshine. Flowers. Magic. In your glass.
