We’re featuring a brand on Voices for Local this week that is creating quite a buzz in the beverage space with their unique catalogue of mead, the world’s oldest alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with various fruits and spices. Nitin Vishwas, one of the co-founders and self-proclaimed ‘Benevolent Overlord’s of the Pune-based Moonshine Meadery, joins Monisha on the show to chat about the challenges of setting up India (and Asia)’s first meadery, what’s is like working with your best friend, how they support local farmers all across the country, how wild they can get while coming up with new flavours, and their plans for their newly raised capital of $2 million.

Check out Moonshine Meadery at www.moonshinemeadery.com, and follow their journey on Instagram @moonshinemeadery. And to keep up with Monisha Singh Katial, follow her on Instagram @monishasinghkatial.
