Sap House Meadery Tasting
Sap House Meadery is one of the best examples of meads produced in the New England. It's bottled and produced in New Hampshire using only local ingredients (except for the vanilla). Mead isn't easy to understand and is an acquired taste, but not this mead. Sap House Meadery has revolutionized, in my opinion, what mead is and should be. If you don't believe me come in and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

House Bear Brewing Mead Tasting
It ain't a party without a House Bear. Or two. House Bear Brewing may be one of the OG meaderies. They were founded in 2013 which puts them ahead of most--also around the time craft beer was taking off. Like the Vikings, HBB had a long road ahead of them as selling mead is no easy task. In order to stay in business, HBB would have to outwit craft breweries, wineries, and whiskey distilleries. And that is exactly what they…
