Here at Silver Hand Meadery, we strive to produce a number of exciting meads that are greatly enjoyed by both mead aficionados and folks new to the historic beverage.

Along the way, we have entered many of our favorite meads into three different mead competitions, and have been proud of our successes!

The Competitions

The Mead Crafters Competition is a BJCP-sanctioned competition hosted by the National Honey Board, aimed at recognizing the best meads in the United States.

The Mazer Cup International Mead Competition, has been described as "the largest commercial and amateur mead competition in the world." It is composed of two events - one for commercial companies and one for amateur brewers.

The Virginia Governor's Cup®, one of the most stringent competitions in the US, is hosted by the Virginia Wineries Association, in partnership with the Virginia Wine Board and the Virginia Vineyards Association.
