As December unfolds, bringing a delightful mix of chilly weather, festive vibes, and Yuletide cheer, Moonshine Meadery, India's first meadery, reintroduces a festive favorite – the Christmas Apple Pie mead from its MeadLAB series. It’s like sipping on your cherished Christmas apple pie, now bottled for the season!
The journey of the Christmas Apple Pie mead began in 2018 when Moonshine Meadery, known for its small-batch seasonal meads, crafted this gem. The process involves aging their flagship Apple Mead, made with multifloral honey and Kashmiri apples, with the addition of quintessential Christmas spices like Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cloves.
Keeping with their tradition of collaborating with diverse artists for label design, the Christmas Apple Pie Mead showcases the artistic touch of Ajay Shah Design Studio (ASDS). Adorned in classic Christmas hues of red and green, Moonshine’s circular white logo takes on the form of a snowman, perfectly encapsulating the Christmas cheer.
Discussing the inspiration behind the Christmas Apple Pie mead, Rohan Rehani and Nitin Vishwas, Co-founders of Moonshine Meadery, expressed, “Christmas beckons a joyous celebration with loved ones. Yet, no celebration is complete without cinnamon-infused desserts, rum cake, and apple pie. With this in mind, we aspired to craft a mead that embodies the traditional apple pie, poured into a glass! And thus, the Christmas Apple Pie mead came to life.” They added, “At Moonshine, our commitment to experimenting with ingredients is ongoing, aiming to cater to diverse palates and redefine how this versatile drink is enjoyed. The Christmas Apple Pie mead is a testament to this exploration.”
With an alcohol content of 6.5% ABV, the Christmas Apple Pie Mead is now available in Mumbai, Pune, Goa, and Bangalore, inviting you to savor the spirit of the season.
About Moonshine Meadery :
Established in 2018, Moonshine Meadery is India’s first meadery, reviving the ancient alcoholic beverage known as Mead in refreshing modern avatars. Made by fermenting pure honey with various fruits and spices, Moonshine’s meads offer 100% natural and flavorful beverages. Beyond the great taste, for each pint of Moonshine you enjoy, approximately 3 lakh flowers have been pollinated by bees to produce the honey used in crafting this delightful mead. This demonstrates our dedication to both beekeeping and essential pollination.
Moonshine constantly innovates and experiments with a range of ingredients—like multifloral honey, orange blossom honey, coffee beans, guavas, apples, chilies, kaffir lime, and much more—to offer a diverse spread of meads that suit different tastes. While Moonshine's spectrum of flagship meads—Apple Mead, Traditional Mead, and Coffee Mead—are available yearly, the brand also offers seasonal meads known as the MeadLABs. These include Mango Chilli Mead, Guava Chilli Mead, and the Grilled Pineapple Mead, amongst several others, and has slowly carved a niche for itself in the Indian alco-bev sector. Moonshine is currently available in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, UAE, Australia and New Zealand.
