Marlobobo is a Norwegian meadery based in Sande, Vestfold, founded in 2020 by Marius Loktu, who’s been brewing mead at home since 2014. Their mead is made almost entirely from fruit and honey, with very little water. Since they work with the local summer harvest, they release their meads as vintages. They experiment with spontaneous fermentation and carbonic maceration—techniques borrowed from the wine world—and have already produced over a hundred different meads. If you think mead is always heavy and sweet, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.
