Sif – Pumpkin Spice

Inspired by the Norse goddess of grain and fertility, Sif is a radiant tribute to the harvest season. This pumpkin spice mead is crafted with real pumpkin and sweet potatoes, layered with the earthy depth of buckwheat honey and the delicate sweetness of pumpkin blossom honey. Infused with classic pumpkin pie spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger—it evokes the warmth of a hearth fire and the golden glow of fall’s bounty.

In Norse mythology, Sif is famed for her flowing golden hair, said to represent ripened fields of wheat. Wife to Thor, she embodies abundance, nourishment, and the quiet strength of nature’s cycles. Just as her hair was once shorn and regrown with divine gold, this mead captures the essence of renewal and richness.

Each sip is a celebration of the season—earthy, spiced, and luminous. Let Sif grace your goblet and toast to the goddess of grain.

Sif: Goddess of grain, fertility and the golden bounty of the earth.

Sif is a revered figure in Norse mythology, known as the goddess of grain, fertility, and the golden bounty of the earth. Her most iconic feature is her radiant hair—long, golden, and said to shimmer like fields of ripe wheat. This luminous hair wasn’t just a symbol of beauty; it represented the prosperity of the harvest and the life-giving power of nature. Sif is the wife of Thor, the thunder god, and her presence in the pantheon underscores the balance between strength and sustenance—between the storm and the soil.

Her myth is deeply tied to the cycles of growth and renewal. One tale recounts how Loki, the trickster god, mischievously sheared off her golden locks. In reparation, he commissioned dwarves to forge new hair from actual gold, which magically grew like the original. This act not only restored her beauty but reinforced her divine connection to abundance and transformation.

Sif, the mead, is a liquid homage to this goddess’s essence. Crafted with real pumpkin and sweet potatoes—fruits of the harvest—and sweetened with buckwheat and pumpkin blossom honey, it channels the earthy richness and golden warmth that Sif embodies. The blend of classic pumpkin pie spices evokes the comfort of hearth and home, much like the goddess herself, who represents the nourishing heart of the Norse cosmos.

Just as Sif’s golden hair was reborn through divine craftsmanship, this mead is a celebration of renewal, tradition, and the magic of autumn’s bounty. Each sip is a tribute to her legacy—a golden draught worthy of the goddess of grain.
