We have an update to our Mead Hall lineup!

Unfortunately, Four Fires Meadery is no longer able to attend this year's Ohio Viking Festival. We wish them the best and hope to see them at a future event.

In their place, please join us in welcoming Brother's Drake Meadery!

Thanks to this addition, the Ohio Viking Festival will still feature the three oldest meaderies in Ohio all in one place. Whether you're a longtime mead enthusiast or trying mead for the first time, you'll have the opportunity to experience some of Ohio's most historic meaderies throughout the weekend.

Raise a horn and help us welcome Brother's Drake Meadery to the Ohio Viking Festival!
