Modern Day Mead
Mead is Music for your Mouth
Back in 2012, a friend of mine who had been making mead in a garage for many years asked if I wanted to help him launch a mead business and I jumped at the opportunity. I knew nothing about mead-making or brewing but was excited to learn. We set up a custom crush at a local winery in Berkeley and we were off to the races. I was responsible for setting up the business licenses and managing the books, but I got to apprentice the mead-making as well as throw my hand in with the wine-making during crush, and I fell in love.
We grew a nice little business, but ultimately shut it down when my friend moved out of state. However, I had found my true passion: making delicious sparkling mead. Since then, I’ve been home-brewing my own sparkling mead, refining and enhancing some of the recipes we introduced in 2012 and developing a couple of new recipes of my own.
After working in tech for a couple decades, I decided to launch my own brand of sparkling mead, and call it, “Modern Day Mead” to make sure people knew this wasn’t your typical mead. This is the taste and the flavors for a new generation.

Mead is Music for your Mouth!
Music has always been a huge part of my life, playing in the school band and various bands growing up. Music is so powerful in how it can instill an emotion or a vivid memory with just a couple simple tones. I want Modern Day Mead to play that same role in people’s lives, to promote friendship, community, and happiness, and be a part of some of your favorite memories with your family and loved ones.
We make delicious Sparkling meads that Inspire your Taste Buds
