Mjødgård Microbrewery

At Mjødgård Microbrewery, you meet an old Nordic drink in a very present-day setting. Mead is often linked to Vikings, but here the focus is on craftsmanship, flavour and the raw ingredients that make each batch feel honest and well balanced. It’s a place for curious taste buds, good stories and a calm break from the everyday, whether you arrive as a couple, with friends or as a small group.

What is mead?

Mead is one of the oldest drinks in the Nordic region, traditionally made from honey. Depending on the style and how it’s matured, it can be light and fresh or deeper, rounder and more complex. At Mjødgård Microbrewery, mead is brewed with respect for tradition and with a modern sense of precision, so the honey can shine without becoming heavy. If you’ve only met mead as a myth or a movie reference, this is a great place to taste what it can actually be.

What can you experience at Mjødgård Microbrewery?

A visit can be as simple as dropping by for a look around and a chat, or as immersive as joining a guided experience. You’ll get an insight into how mead is made, what choices shape the flavour, and why ingredients and time matter so much. There’s room for questions, small discoveries and that satisfying moment when something unfamiliar suddenly makes sense. It suits couples, friend groups and anyone who enjoys food and drink with a bit of background.

Mead tasting at Mjødgård Microbrewery

It’s an enjoyable way to build a day trip around Faxe, with a shared experience at the centre.

The farm shop at Mjødgård Microbrewery

In the farm shop, you can bring the flavour home. You’ll find Mjødgård’s own meads and can choose a bottle for a dinner, a gift or a quiet evening later on. Browsing is part of the experience, and many people end up taking one bottle for “now” and another for “later”. If you like local food culture, the shop is also a nice place to linger for a few extra minutes before heading on.
