Over a decade of brewing meets the best of nature. Crafted honey wine that’s anything but ordinary.
Thistle Meadery began with a simple goal – make mead that actually tastes good. What started as a passion project within Adelaide’s medieval scene quickly turned into a decade-long pursuit of flavour through experimentation, tasting (plenty of that), and fine-tuning.
A hand-picked selection of our most-loved meads.
Crafted for flavour, built to impress, and ready to enjoy.
At Thistle Meadery, every bottle is built on a foundation of carefully selected ingredients, each chosen for their ability to create a balanced, full-flavoured mead. It’s not just what we use, it’s how we bring it all together that sets us apart.
Honey is the backbone of our mead. We use a high-quality, unique blend of honey to deliver depth and character, without compromise. From bright and floral to bold and earthy, unprocessed and local wherever possible, it’s flavour you can taste.
Our meads feature real, seasonal fruit – never flavourings. Whether it’s tart berries, rich plums, or crisp apples, the fruit brings balance, colour, and a fresh edge that plays perfectly against the sweetness of the honey.
We carefully blend spices and botanicals to add complexity and a touch of intrigue. From warm cinnamon to native Australian herbs, each addition is tested to ensure it enhances, not overwhelms, the final flavour.
In a world full of fleeting trends and mass-produced drinks, there’s a place where tradition, nature, and craftsmanship reign supreme: Thistle Meadery. We specialize in creating the finest handcrafted honey meads, each bottle brimming with the wild sweetness of honey and the ancient art of fermentation. If you’re searching for the best honey meads online, you’ve arrived at the heart of it all.

Welcome to the world of honey mead – an extraordinary elixir that has traveled through centuries, now beautifully reborn at Thistle Meadery. This is not just a drink; it’s a journey into history, nature, and the magic of the hive.
