Bilberry Sunday coincided with Lughnasa (LOO-na-sa) which is the ancient Gaelic celebration that occurs at the start of August. This time of the year was often when food stores were getting very low, but the first harvests were upon the people so there was reason to rejoice. Part of the Holiday was to hit the hills and gather bilberries which are cousins to the American blueberry. In our opinion, they’re even tastier so here’s our ode!

We think you’ll find this Mead far more satisfying than the Blood of your Enemies. Hopefully.
