Our Story

In the vibrant heart of New Braunfels, TX, Valkyrie's Kiss Meadery was proudly established in 2023 as a tribute to courage, sacrifice, and timeless tradition. Founded by Isaac Pruna, a local New Braunfels, Texan and proud United States Army veteran with 10 years of service, Valkyrie's Kiss honors Norse legends and fallen brothers-in-arms. Inspired by the Valkyries fierce warrior maidens led by the goddess Freyja, who guided brave souls to Valhalla, this meadery captures the spirit of those who fought with honor. ​Our logo, featuring Freyja’s silhouette, symbolizes the powerful balance of love, war, and death, encapsulating the warrior spirit. Valkyrie’s Kiss is more than just a meadery, it is a heartfelt celebration of bravery, remembrance, and the legacy of those who sacrificed.

​

Driven by a passion for crafting high-quality, health-conscious, and locally sourced meads, Isaac embarked on this journey three years ago, overcoming challenges that tested his resolve. The result is a natural product with minimal sulfites, adhering to legal requirements while ensuring the purity of the mead, we only add between 10-50 ppm of sulfites and NO tannins. Our meads are free from additives and fillers, offering a wholesome refreshment that connects the past with the present. Each sip is a celebration of tradition and history, a testament to community and craftsmanship. We aim to share the rich history and ecological benefits of mead with our community.
 

We are thrilled to finally share the fruits of our labor with the community. Our heartfelt gratitude extends to Elgin Meadery and Micah Erwin, whose guidance and opportunity have been pivotal in allowing us to carry on his esteemed legacy. Additionally to friends and family thank you for your help and support. Skol!
