Local Craft Alcohol Company Bags Silver Award in Europe’s Largest Mead Competition

Celebrates Being the First Singaporean Meadery to Win Multiple International Awards

22 November 2020, Singapore – Fresh from the commercial success of their first seasonal flavour, the Chrysanthemum Mead launched in April 2020, Lion City Meadery (LCM), one of Singapore’s more prolific mead producers, has been awarded the Silver Medal for their Hibiscus Blueberry Mead, at Mead Madness Cup 2020, the largest mead competition in Europe.

The Mead Madness Cup is an annual competition held in Poland and is the largest mead judging competition in Europe. This year saw intense competition with a record breaking 250 entries coming in from around the world, including the US, UK, Spain, Ireland and Sweden.

The Hibiscus Blueberry Mead won in the Dry Session Mead Category, up against entries from countries such as Ukraine and Spain. The results were announced yesterday during the awards ceremony in Poland, which was live streamed online.

This is LCM’s third international award – their Spiced Mead picked up both the Silver in Category and the Best of Singapore awards at the Asia Beer Awards during Beerfest Asia 2019 – which makes Lion City Meadery the first Singaporean Meadery to have clinched multiple awards internationally.

“We are thrilled to have won this award, and to have our Hibiscus Blueberry mead recognised despite being up against so many other distinguished mead brewers from around the world. We are extremely heartened and are inspired to keep innovating with our flavours. Next time, we’ll aim for the Gold!” said Justin Herson, Co-founder, Lion City Meadery.

 

About Lion City Meadery

Lion City Meadery (LCM) is the brainchild of two friends who share a love of mead – Sanjay Jegatheesan and Justin Herson – who prior to starting LCM, were in the totally unrelated industries of audio-visual sales and construction. After years of home brewing for friends and family, LCM was born in August 2018 to share Sanjay and Justin’s love of mead with a much bigger audience. Since then, LCM has built a strong following amongst craft alcohol lovers, with its three flagship flavours – Classic, Hibiscus Blueberry and Spiced, and its first seasonal flavour, Chrysanthemum, was a commercial success, despite being launched in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
