We’re kicking off the new year the way we mean to go on. All of our limited edition specials are inspired by our surroundings and give a nod to our heritage as we celebrate our 25th birthday in August. Golden Age uses local honey from Meadow Honey Farm based a stones throw away on Yattendon Estates. Run by husband and wife team Rob & Jo Nickless, Meadow Honey Farm started out as a hobby back in  2006 but with a growing family and a passion  for all things bee related, the business has expanded rapidly with around 200 hives now located across Berkshire & Oxfordshire – from meadows by the river Thames, to the heights of the beautiful Berkshire Downs. The honey used in Golden Age imparts a fresh sweetness and floral notes which sit perfectly alongside the citrus and pine like characteristics of American hops.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Meadow Honey Farm bees visit a wide variety of flowers and trees to pollinate the plants and collect nectar to make into delicious honey.
• Each bee works hard during its short life to make just one twelfth  of a teaspoon of honey.
• Nectar collected from different plants makes different honey: some darker or lighter in colour; some of which will granulate quickly and some of which will remain clear for much longer.
• As a rule of thumb, the darker the honey, the stronger the flavour.
