Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself—My Name is Mead 🍯 Cheesy? Maybe. But who doesn’t like JayZ? And now that I’ve got your attention… Let me tell you about how we’re bringing back the world’s oldest (and most sustainable) alcohol in a fresh, modern way—as a slightly carbonated, 100-calorie, delicious ‘Hard Honey’ beverage. You might have heard of mead in Game of Thrones, Vikings, or when casually reading the Iliad- it's the drink your ancestors, ancestors drank- and it was the most popular drink for millenia. Over the past two years, we’ve reimagined and innovated the way mead is made, crafting something truly unique and delicious. We’re not just reviving an ancient drink; we’re creating a brand-new beverage category with the goal of disrupting the alcohol market. And now, you can join us. You can invest in LIXIR at the same terms as our initial investors, including James Watt (space is limited). Together, we can transform the alcohol market by building a category that’s not only better for you but also better for the planet. 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gaK9BqrU Drink Different.
