Texas Mead Craze Causes a Bear Rebirth (Probably)
Something sweet is brewing in Texas — and it’s not just the mead. As black bears begin to wander back across the Red River, locals are starting to wonder if they’re following something more than instinct. From the buzzing meaderies of Austin to the honey-rich fields of East Texas, the state’s craft mead boom might just be tempting the “honey bears” of legend to return. At Vinland Meads in Murchison, where tradition meets Texas folklore, even the wildlife seems to have developed a taste for the good stuff.

Mead Across Cultures
From the misty glens of Scotland to the royal courts of Ethiopia, mead has long been more than just a drink—it’s a shared legacy of humanity. Across continents and centuries, cultures have turned honey into sacred offerings, medicinal tonics, and celebratory brews. In this article, we explore the global journey of mead: how it inspired Norse poets, bonded Polish nobility, warmed Mongolian warriors, and flowed through ancient temples from China to Mesoamerica. At Vinland Meads, we honor this rich tradition in every bottle, keeping not only bees alive—but the stories, rituals, and heritage they helped ferment.
