Big Mountain Mead

Big Mountain Mead, est. 2019. Big Mountain Mead is crafted in Ohakune at the foot of Mt Ruapehu, where alpine air, pure water and native mānuka honey inspire everything we do. We make sparkling honey mead that’s naturally fermented, lightly sweet and refreshingly sessionable delivering premium taste without the premium price. Our 5% alcohol sparkling meads are brewed with real fruits and spices, no artificial flavours, and the bold, distinctive character of New Zealand mānuka honey. Available in 330ml cans, individually or in 4-packs, they’re a better way to drink - all-natural, balanced and easy to enjoy. Big Mountain Mead is part of The Meadery, New Zealand’s innovation hub for non-beer beverages. Here, nature, science and creativity come together to develop modern drinks for local and export markets - from alcoholic to non-alcoholic and functional options. More than a producer, we’re a launchpad for the next generation of New Zealand beverage brands
