After graduating from the Ecole h\u00f4teli\u00e8re de Lausanne, he embarked on an international career in the hotel business in Europe and India, where he became banqueting manager at a hotel where many weddings were held. It was when one of his customers decided to treat his guests to mead at his wedding that Kamran discovered &#8220;the oldest alcohol in the world&#8221;, and was immediately hooked. In 2018 he secured an apprenticeship with Frank Golbeck, pioneer of the Southern California mead renaissance and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldencoastmead.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golden Coast Mead<\/a>. Frank quickly becomes a friend and mentor, generously sharing his know-how and expertise with Kamran. With his in-depth knowledge of modern mead production methods, he returned to Switzerland in 2020 and founded BEEoMETRY in 2021 with the ambition of producing a quality mead to raise local awareness of this ancestral beverage, which reflects the inestimable value of the role of bees and the work of beekeepers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;\">We tasted it and it&#8217;s delicious!

Mead-making dates back to the Neolithic period, 9,000 years BC. Wine did not arrive until 4,000 years later. Also known as the nectar of the gods, it is thought to have been consumed by man long before, when mead was &#8220;made&#8221; naturally in flooded beehives.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>It&#8217;s a drink made from water and honey, and is thought to have originated in China. Traces of mead can also be found in Egypt and, above all, in Greece, whose people gave it its letters of nobility; mead was the sacred drink of the Olympian gods.<\/p>\n<p>In regions where vines thrived, wine overtook mead over the centuries, but in northern regions, mead held out until the 16th century, when it gave way to beer. It was revived in the United States and has been booming for the past 5 years, and BEEoMETRY intends to make it more widely appreciated by offering a sustainable alternative to beer and other alcoholic soft drinks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-single-image tatsu-module align-center tatsu-image-lazyload tatsu-S18YYyTwc  \" ><div class=\"tatsu-single-image-inner \" style=\"width : 1000px;\" ><div class = \"tatsu-single-image-padding-wrap\" style = \"padding-bottom : 125%;\" ><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/hydromel.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class = \"tatsu-gradient-border\" alt = \"Beeometry-Hydromel-Abeilles-Boisson3 petite\" title = \"Beeometry-Hydromel-Abeilles-Boisson3 petite\" data-src = \"https:\/\/lameche.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Beeometry-Hydromel-Abeilles-Boisson3-petite.png\" src =\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  \/><\/a><\/div><style>.tatsu-S18YYyTwc{margin: 0px 0px 50px 0px;}.tatsu-S18YYyTwc .tatsu-single-image-inner{border-style: solid;max-width: 64%;}.tatsu-S18YYyTwc.tatsu-single-image{transform: translate3d(0px,0px, 0);}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-inline-text clearfix tatsu-SJrDtkpDq   \" ><style>.tatsu-SJrDtkpDq .tatsu-inline-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-SJrDtkpDq .tatsu-inline-text-inner{width: 100%;}}<\/style><div class=\"tatsu-inline-text-inner tatsu-align-center\">\n<div title=\"Page 1\">\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;Like grapes, honey is the profound reflection of a country, a region, a terroir.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Kamran Marwah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-inline-text clearfix tatsu-ryH1jyTDc   \" ><style>.tatsu-ryH1jyTDc .tatsu-inline-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-ryH1jyTDc .tatsu-inline-text-inner{width: 100%;}}<\/style><div class=\"tatsu-inline-text-inner tatsu-align-center\">\n<div title=\"Page 1\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ecological dimension of the project, in particular through the promotion of the essential role of bees in the ecosystem, is central.

First, because I found it delicious! Secondly, for its sustainable dimension, mead has a much lower impact on the environment than beer or wine, because it doesn&#8217;t depend on monoculture or intensive agriculture. Mead depends on a healthy plant ecosystem, and this can be as simple as a patch of forest where bees are placed to pollinate and extract honey from the plant mass, thereby helping to improve biodiversity and soil health. Mead is also a beverage steeped in history, legends and myths, which can be found in many cultures and geographies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Was it really the cultural heritage aspect that interested you?&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Absolutely, for example the expression &#8220;honeymoon&#8221; comes from mead. When Vikings married, they were given mead for a month to promote fertility, appease the gods and receive the gods&#8217; grace after the wedding. That&#8217;s one of the thousand stories I can tell you!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-single-image tatsu-module align-center tatsu-image-lazyload tatsu-ByadegTvq  \" ><div class=\"tatsu-single-image-inner \" style=\"width : 1000px;\" ><div class = \"tatsu-single-image-padding-wrap\" style = \"padding-bottom : 125%;\" ><\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/hydromel.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class = \"tatsu-gradient-border\" alt = \"Beeometry-Hydromel-Abeilles-Boisson2 - petit\" title = \"Beeometry-Hydromel-Abeilles-Boisson2 &#8211; petit\" data-src = \"https:\/\/lameche.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Beeometry-Hydromel-Abeilles-Boisson2-petit.jpg\" src =\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  \/><\/a><\/div><style>.tatsu-ByadegTvq .tatsu-single-image-inner{border-style: solid;max-width: 64%;}.tatsu-ByadegTvq.tatsu-single-image{transform: translate3d(0px,0px, 0);}<\/style><\/div><div  class=\"tatsu-module tatsu-inline-text clearfix tatsu-rkY_xlaD9   \" ><style>.tatsu-rkY_xlaD9 .tatsu-inline-text-inner{width: 100%;text-align: left;}@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tatsu-rkY_xlaD9 .tatsu-inline-text-inner{width: 100%;}}<\/style><div class=\"tatsu-inline-text-inner tatsu-align-center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: justify; font-family: Raleway, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"><strong><em>Where does your commitment to planet-friendly business come from?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and I believe that sustainability is an integral part of business. We need to find a business model that really has a positive impact at its core. In my opinion, this is the future of business. It&#8217;s not easy to do, but I think mead is one of the activities that regenerates the planet, because the more mead&nbsp; we consume, the more bees we&#8217;ll have, and there&#8217;ll never be too many, it&#8217;ll always be positive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>The adjective &#8220;regenerative&#8221; that you used is very important, I think! Companies must now focus on &#8220;net-positive&#8221; strategies to build a restorative and regenerative economy &#8211; it&#8217;s a crucial issue!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>What challenges do you face in your business?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My customers demand local honey. It&#8217;s a challenge I&#8217;m trying to meet. Geneva honey is very expensive, so the challenge is to succeed in offering a product that remains affordable, using local honey. I&#8217;m in the process of forging links with local producers and then the longer-term vision is to produce our own honey. So there&#8217;s also this challenge of gently converting ourselves into beekeepers in addition to being hydromeliers and starting to produce the raw material we need to make alcohol, just like the winemakers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Another challenge was that mead has a thousand facets: like beer or wine, it can be more or less alcoholic, with or without bubbles, with or without fruit and spices, fortified or not, very sweet or very dry. There really are a thousand avenues to follow and I&#8217;ve chosen to make what&#8217;s called a &#8220;mead of thirst&#8221;, a style of mead that originated in Southern California where it&#8217;s very hot. I&#8217;d like to propose this as an alternative to beer, which is also glutene-free, so it doesn&#8217;t bloat the stomach, and which you can easily drink in the sun for an aperitif and drink 2 or 3 without getting sick. The idea was also to offer it on draught, at the filler, both to increase the visibility of our product and because it&#8217;s more rational in terms of packaging and better for the environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>What anti-sustainable gesture do you find hard to give up?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I think it&#8217;s having everything in bottles. It&#8217;s greener to have cans, both in terms of transport and recycling, and it costs less too. There are many advantages to having cans, but it&#8217;s hard to change consumer perception: a can looks &#8220;cheaper&#8221; than a bottle, and people are willing to pay more for a glass bottle. So I&#8217;m finding it hard to give up the bottle, but I&#8217;m going to have to do it soon, and it&#8217;s going to involve a really nice can design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>And personally?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Personally, I&#8217;d say I don&#8217;t carpool enough, as I&#8217;m still too often alone in the car.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>What should tomorrow&#8217;s world look like?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Above all, a world where profits aren&#8217;t the ultimate goal, a world where there&#8217;s no excessive capitalism, where the idea isn&#8217;t to make money just for the sake of making money.
