The four brothers are Bryan, Chris, Joe, and Dan. We all enjoy Mead, and one day set out to create our own. The title and vision for the brand was clear: combining our ancestral background with a drink fit for the battle hardened warrior. We created an old-world product using only the best all natural ingredients to produce a drink worthy of the gods.

Bryan enlisted in the Army in 2008 as a Combat Medic and ETS’d as a Sergeant in 2020. He has had two overseas deployments with one to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. During this time, he became close friends with Chris and Joe.

Chris enlisted in the Army in 2005 and is currently serving in active reserve status as a Military Police Staff Sergeant. Bryan and Joe later joined Chris’s unit and deployed shortly after to Iraq. Then in 2010, Chris deployed to Afghanistan for his second tour and was operating out of FOB Salerno. Down the road, Chris, Bryan, and Joe became close friends; after another tour to Afghanistan in 2015, Chris went on to marry Joe’s sister and met his brother-in-law Dan. Chris deployed once more to a classified location in 2020.

Joe enlisted in the Army in 2007 as Military Police, where he met Bryan and Chris. Over the next few years the three became close and were introduced to Dan at a family BBQ. After a full contract, one short extension, and a deployment in Iraq, Joe ETS’d as a Staff Sergeant in November 2015. Starting in 2014 Joe served as local law enforcement in St. Louis, MO. Joe continues to support the American War Fighter and his service to our country and communities in a similar function. He remains as a silent partner working in a limited capacity for the company.

Dan enlisted as active duty in the Air Force late 2003 as an Air Transportation Airmen and immediately deployed as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in early 2004 under the 5th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron. During this time, he was responsible for the secure shipment of classified material and deceased personnel during the early days of the war on terrorism. While deployed he worked with Mortuary Affairs to prepare and send home our real heroes who paid the ultimate price. A few years later he met Bryan and Chris through Joe.
