Meet Brian Kosoris, Our Viking Alchemist! 

Brian Kosoris, one of our founding members and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), is the wizard behind the scenes at The Viking Alchemist. Armed with a degree in Mechatronic Engineering from Kennesaw State University, Brian ensures that our processes and equipment hum like a well-tuned lyre. More like a high strung dulcimer 

The Alchemy of Mead 

Brian’s creative mind thrives on challenges. Whether it’s tweaking fermentation temperatures or coaxing flavors from rare honey varietals, he’s the alchemist who turns raw ingredients into liquid gold. His secret? Pioneering processes that magically transform mead from pitch to bottle in record time, all while maintaining that delightful aged taste. 

A Viking at Heart 

Brian’s journey into the world of mead began during his days as a medieval reenactor. Clad in full armor, standing over 6 feet tall, and with reddish-blond hair and beard, he embodied the spirit of a Viking warrior. It was only fitting that he became known as “The Viking Alchemist.” His love for science and adventure led him to explore the ancient art of mead-making. 

A Submarine Twist 

Before brewing mead, Brian served as a Nuclear Technician on Navy ballistic submarines. From the depths of the ocean to the heights of flavor experimentation, his journey has been nothing short of epic. 

Notable Creations 

Brian’s fingerprints are all over our mead creations as he brews our main batch from which all other flavors derive. It’s the heart and soul of The Viking Alchemist. 

So, next time you raise your horn of mead, remember that Brian’s passion and expertise are woven into every drop. Skål!
