The Mead Lab
The Mead Lab offerings are our small batch experimental meads, where we test new recipes and flavor combinations! If you try any of them while you are at the Meadery, please share your thoughts on them, as the popular meads may be bottled in the future.
They are served in-house only, but our Insider Club members have the opportunity to purchase mini to-go bottles in store.
