Bemuse

Back to brands

Bemuse is a London-founded alcohol-free sparkling mead brand launched in 2021 by Anna Chalov and Nataliya Peretrutova, specialising in fermented honey drinks designed for food pairing.

Mead begins as a fermentation of honey, water, and yeast. Bemuse builds on that base by infusing each product with botanicals, producing a range of sparkling, low-alcohol drinks aimed at occasions where wine or craft beer would otherwise be the choice. The founders wanted a sophisticated, food-friendly alcohol-free option with the complexity of a well-made fermented drink, and the range reflects that: different variants draw on specific honey varieties, with orange blossom honey featuring in at least one product. The full range is gluten-free, low-calorie, and made with natural ingredients.

Bemuse is a member of 1% for the Planet and directs its environmental contribution specifically towards bee conservation. The connection is intentional: honey is the drink's primary ingredient, and the health of bee populations is integral to the brand's supply.

The brand suits sober-curious drinkers looking for a fermented, food-pairing alternative that sits clearly outside the standard beer and wine categories. Distribution covers direct-to-consumer sales and specialist alcohol-free retailers.
