Description
Sap House Meadery is a small producer of premium, hand-crafted meads (honey wines). The Meadery was founded in 2010 by two young entrepreneurs, Ash Fischbein and Matt Trahan. Together they rejuvenated an old store front in downtown Center Ossipee, New Hampshire using many recycled materials and sustainable methods. Sap House Meads use only time-tested traditional methods and procure ingredients from local farms and markets.

The signature of Sap House Meadery is its use of pure New Hampshire maple syrup in many of its meads. In some, such as the Hopped Blueberry or Cranberry Sage, it is used to add complexity. In the Sugar Maple however, it is the main ingredient with nearly half the fermentable sugars coming from maple syrup.

At Sap House Meadery we value community building and strive to source our ingredients locally. We are committed to creating a product that is steeped in history, produced naturally, and enjoyed universally. Our meads are created with a passion for the land and in homage to the bees that keep the land going. Ask for our meads at your local wine shop or grocer, and stop by the Meadery to enjoy our process, have a tasting, and experience our passion. Cheers!

Sample from bottle, thanks Jan. Quite interesting mead. Loads of roasty coffee beans, sweet honey, spices, berries and toffee. Sweet and untypical.

Bottle from AFH. Some sediment. It’s a peach yellow color. Still nice legs. Smells fantastic. It has a load of delicate vanilla but heavily dominating. You can smell it across the room. I even smell the booze. Whoa. A load of delicious vanilla. In fact, there’s even some peach and apple here. Hmmm. Even traces of cinnamon. Delicious but a load of booze.

Small sample from a 375 ml bottle. Totally clear golden color in the glass with a clean honey aroma. The flavor is simple sweet honey based mead but not overly sweet. Thing I find here is the strong alcohol presence that I have found in all three Sap House Meads. The nice thing here is it doesn't get overly sweet or cloying.
