Our family is introducing mead, also known as honey wine, to the masses. Mead is fermented honey that can also be blended with fruits and spices. We will be locally hand crafting meads for the Twin Cities area to enjoy.Mead is an ancient libation that dates back well over 1000 years ago and was made by many cultures from around the world. Those cultures include the Chinese, Ethiopians and Scandinavians/Vikings.
Gluten Fre: yep! Unless there has been grain added to the mead (for example a braggot style mead) it is 100% gluten-free.
BARREL-AGED: Absolutely! Rum, bourbon and rye whiskey barrels are used most commenly to develop unique flavours in mead.
Our focus is on locally sourced ingredients. Our star ingredient is Minnesota grown honey that we blend with as many other fresh local ingredients as possible. Ingredients such as local strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, maple syrup and apples. We educate the uninitiated in our tasting room by making personal connections with our patrons. Through these personal connections we will not only talk about our different selections of mead, but also about our primary ingredient honey. The Minnesota wildflower and varietal honeys like basswood and buckwheat that we use contribute unique flavor notes like “floral” and “caramelized”. These unique flavors helps to develop and broaden your mead taste palette.
