Kvasir's Blood Returns and More - April 2025

Kvasir's Blood Returns and More - April 2025

Greetings, patrons of the Arcane Alchemist!

In this new publication, I’ll update you on everything that has been and will be happening at the Arcane Alchemist once a month, including upcoming releases, events, stockists, and more! So, let’s dive right in.

Kvasir’s Blood Returns

The much-proclaimed cherry mead has returned—the third time we’ve brewed this delightful mead! It was originally set for release in early March, but various issues have delayed it, including illness, bottle shortages, and the mead taking longer than usual to filter. But rejoice—you can now secure your bottle of Kvasir’s Blood, as it is available now. The mini bottles we use are still unavailable, so we will be launching these at a later date.

Upcoming Markets

I’ll be attending three events this month: the Fareham Artisan Market, Vibrant Forest Brewery Market, and St George's Smile Emporium.

The Fareham Artisan Market is hosted on the Fareham high street (PO16 0AQ), taking place on Saturday 12th between 10:00-16:00. You'll find a selection of local food, drink, and craft producers.

Vibrant Forest Brewery are hosting a market just outside their prestigious brewery! Enjoy both their beer selection and some small producers (SO45 3AE), taking place on Sunday 13th between 12:00-16:00 pm. 

Finally, I'll be attending the St George's Smile Emporium on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th between 10:00-16:00 on both days.

Mead of the Month

In the final section of each edition of The Mystic Press, I’d like to offer you a discount on a featured mead. This month, you can enjoy 10% off Oakbeard's Treasure with code OAKBEARD10.

The quintessential mead the Arcane Alchemist offers, a semi-sweet mead with lingering notes of oak and vanilla.

That’s all from me this month—have a magical April. 🪄
