Bemuse began as a buzz of an idea in 2020 by friends Anna Chalov and Nataliya Peretrutova who wanted to create a new drinking experience - something meaningful and unique and something that stood out from the explosion of low-alcohol beers, wines and ciders. Having tried existing meads they were inspired to see if they could do things differently. Mead was intriguing because of its history and the potential for reinventing a new drink that was unique,exciting, tasty and healthy. Nurtured through a month-long natural fermentation process, Bemuse uses select artisan honeys infused with all natural ingredients to create delicious and grown-up drinks. The result is all the sensory delight and flavour with an inclusive 0.5% ABV and naturally low sugar. Bemuse is on a mission to create intriguingly different drinks that not only taste great but are inclusive and kind to our planet. Everyone can feel good about consuming them, whatever the occasion.
