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 New Braunfels local 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 - our mead captures the spirit of those who fought with honor. ​Our logo features Freyja’s silhouette, symbolizing 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.

We are driven by a passion for crafting high-quality, health-conscious, and locally sourced meads. Each batch is naturally produced with minimal sulfites (only 10–50 ppm) and absolutely 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 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. Skål!
