Shortly after initiating commercial sales, Vintage Brewery UK Ltd’s flagship product, BARHI ORIGINAL has been awarded a Top 3 position in the PRO Dry Session Mead category at the internationally renowned Mead Madness Cup 2026 in Poland.
The PRO category is strictly reserved for commercially produced meads, making this achievement a significant milestone for the London-based startup. Earning a place among outstanding producers from across the globe validates BARHI’s vision of crafting a mead that defies the heavy, sweet stereotype traditionally associated with the category.
“BARHI was created with a simple vision: to craft a drink that complements flavor-rich cuisine while offering something genuinely different,” stated Vikas Thakker, Founder. This award-winning beverage is naturally gluten-free, contains no added sugar, and delivers 90% lesser carbohydrates and 40% lesser calories, aligning perfectly with modern drinking preferences. The brand extends its gratitude to the Mead Madness Cup judges and to Krzysztof Jarek for his continued support.
