8-26-25 Tonight we’re talking with Brian Green, owner of Centeur Imports in New Hampshire. Brian is bringing meads from Europe to the United States, and even has a direct online sales platform for people to get these meads shipped to them.
During a long career as a professor of sociology, Brian spent a lot of time in Eastern Europe traveling and doing research. While there, he discovered incredible Polish, Czech and Slovakian meads. In 2013, together with his wife Jana, Brian founded Centeur Imports to import wine and mead from Central Europe. They quickly found that mead was their best selling product. After learning all the ropes about how to handle import logistics and national U.S. distribution, Centeur Imports is thriving as a company and currently selling mead around the USA and online. Their company goal is to be the premiere importer of mead for the U.S. market.
After establishing the company in 2013 as a family-owned-and-operated business, Brian and Jana have steadily increased the number of wines and mead imported, distributing both locally in New Hampshire and nationally. Today, they offer wines and mead from across Europe and are working hard to expand our product line to include a wide range of rare and award- winning wines from the best producers.
Come and hear what Brian is up to and what meads he’s planning to bring into the States!
