This elegant line of boundary-pushing and innovative meads is designed to surprise and delight tastemakers

Corvallis, Ore. – March 3, 2023 – Spanning from the traditional to the unique, Nectar Creek Meadery launches its first-ever premium Cellar Series line with Festoon, a plum and hibiscus mead, that is packaged in cans and with a new look, making it accessible to uber craft enthusiasts across the country.

The Cellar Series is a rotating line of one-off meads created in limited quantities by our award-winning meadmakers. According to history, mead is legendary. This storied libation is likely the oldest alcoholic beverage. Made from fermented honey and enjoyed across history among sea-faring Vikings and royalty alike, this radiant drink is making an epic resurgence, and its delicate, complex profile is surely to delight and satisfy. 

The first in the series, Festoon, a peculiar “chain” of bees hanging between comb during the building season, has left many wondering. This Festoon won’t leave you pondering, but wishing for more. Crimson hibiscus flowers, delicate aromatic honey and red plums make Festoon a delicious and tart beverage.

“Festoon is the perfect mead to kick off our Nectar Creek Cellar Series line,” said Phil Lorenz, co-founder and brand manager of Nectar Creek. “The rich, sweet, delicious ripe red plum juice combines bee-utifully with a floral hibiscus nose, layered on top of local white clover honey.”
