Mercia Distillery Rocks Stonedead Festival: Thousands of Pints, Shots of Valhalla, and Pure Mayhem!

The Hot One Two Meet and Greet
By: Chris Albutt

What a weekend! Mercia Distillery turned Stonedead Festival into absolute mayhem, and we’re still buzzing from the madness. Thousands of you rocked up, grabbed a pint of our legendary ROXBE Sparkling Mead, and chased it down with a shot of pure liquid chaos—Valhalla. Let’s just say, Stonedead has never seen anything quite like it!

The energy was off the charts from the first note to the last shot of the night. Valhalla became more than just a drink—it was the spirit of the weekend! Every time someone ordered it, we knew it was about to kick off. People didn’t just love Valhalla, they lived it—arms raised, glasses high, shouting out and throwing back shots like true festival warriors. The atmosphere? Electric. The crowd? Unstoppable.

We had the honour of keeping the rockstars fuelled, too—shoutout to Krusher Joule, Scarlet Rebels, Juliets Not Dead, The Hot One Two, Dan Byrne, King Kraken, and These Wicked Rivers. You guys brought the noise, and we brought the drinks. Together, we made this festival unforgettable.

But let’s not forget the real stars: YOU. Seeing thousands of you pour your heart into the music and the atmosphere while loving our drinks made this the most epic weekend we’ve ever had. There’s something about Stonedead—maybe it’s the rock, maybe it’s the community, or maybe it’s just that special mix of ROXBE Mead and Valhalla shots—but we couldn’t have asked for a better crowd to share it with.

From the wild singalongs to the Valhalla chants, to the untamed energy that never let up, you made Stonedead legendary for us. And we’re already counting down to next year. Let’s do it all over again—bigger, louder, and with even more Valhalla.

And for those who want to keep the festival spirit going, our limited edition Stonedead Festival T-shirts are now available for £20, including postage and packing. Grab yours today from our store before they’re gone!

Plus, if you loved ROXBE Sparkling Mead as much as we think you did, you’ll be happy to know you can now buy it online and get it delivered right to your door. Perfect for those post-festival cravings!

Until then, keep rockin’, keep drinking, and stay loud. We’ll see you at the bar! VALHALLA!!!
