Everything You Mead to Know

Mead is alcohol made from honey, water & yeast. We focus on small batches with local honey & REAL fruit. We only ferment the honey (not the fruit) to ensure all alcohol is coming from honey.

YES, Vikings did drink mead.

Mead can be enjoyed at 45 degrees (refrigerator temp) or served at room temp when it's not sparkling. You're welcome to mix spirits, ice or mixers - but we prefer it STRAIGHT.

To store your mead, we recommend keeping it in a cool, dry place, like a wine fridge, or a closet, where temperatures don't change and sunlight isn't hitting the bottle. Once opened mead is best enjoyed in 1-3 days, kept in fridge with bottle stopper, otherwise carbonation starts to slip out.

Otherwise like wine, mead can age, although we like to enjoy within a year.

We ship to 42 states in the U.S. Alaska & Hawaii have higher shipping costs due to the voyage.

By law alcohol requires a signature of someone 21+. You can see our shipping policy here.

At this time we do not ship to CT, NJ, SD, UT, AR, MS, DE, AL.
