 Chouchen - Oak Aged - BrewBoard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Chouchen is a type of mead, and was the Celts' favorite drink because they believed it offered immortality for humans and a "sacred state of drunkenness" for the gods.
The first appearances of Chouchen in Brittany date back to the middle of the 3rd century B.C. The production region of Chouche is the true Celtic region of Brittany.
The oak aged version of Chouchen needs to be chilled to help mellow the finish to pull it all together into a more complex sophisticated mead.

 Chouchen Oak Aged   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
This version of Chouchen has been aged for 2 years in oak.
It has the semi sweet mead character like the standard Chouchen which plum/pear in aroma and flavor but the oak aging has added quite a bit more complexity.
Unlike the standard Chouchen which could be served chilled or room temperature, the oak aged version does need to be chilled to help mellow the finish to pull it all together into a more complex sophisticated mead.

Closer to home the Chouchen is consumed in certain kinds of bars and pubs because of its symbolic belonging to a culture.
Today, the Chouchen is seen as the beverage of the Fest-Noz and Celtic Feasts and its consumption as an aperitif is more and more frequent.
Obtained from a fermentation of honey and water and produced by the original method, almost a wine-making process, the Chouchen is consumed as an aperitif, in long drinks and favourably refreshes the Melon.

 the musical mystery tour - Adam Walton's radio experience on BBC Radio Wales   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
So, the appearance of Chouchen in my life was akin to uncovering a lode of diamond-bearing kimberlite whilst weeding the back garden.
I had never heard of Chouchen, so to receive an album of the quality of ‘Deud Dim’ (out now on the Gwynfryn / Sain record label) was a surprise indeed.
It's also very important that there is more than one composer in the group - one of us gets an idea and everyone gets stuck into it - I think it's important that the songs belong to the group rather than to individuals in the group.

 Brittany specialties, food Brittany
All this makes of Brittany a favourite destination for both French and foreign tourists, where they can enjoy seafood, starting with some Brittany oysters.
Other foods to savour include delicious sweetened pancakes (crepes) and salted wafers washed down with a refreshing glass of cider, perhaps after a tot of Chouchen, a local aperitif which is also made from apples.
Visitors may be amused by Andouille de Guéméné (sausages made from chitterlings) served either hot or cold in many Breton restaurants.

 An American Pipemaker in Brittany: March 2006
It's a sort of museum/factory/shop devoted to the art of making things with honey and beeswax, and really a neat place to visit.
The fellow who runs it makes an award-winning Chouchen, which is a really sweet Breton honey mead...
Chouchen is a bit of a Love-It-or-Hate-It drink, but I'm fond of it, especially since I can drink it from an authentic mead horn gifted to me by kind friends from across the border :)

After a short break from the scene Chouchen are back with a new collection of songs with a slightly heavier and more eclectic style than previous releases as Ysbryd Chouchen.
After a change in name from Ysbryd Chouchen to Chouchen and Cerys’s departure from the band in 2001 it was inevitable that a new sound and style would emerge from the band.
Their last album “Deud Dim” was a great taster for what was to follow.
