Every day we work to source the most local, pure, organic and fresh ingredients to craft our meads. To us, ‘local’ is not just a buzz word - it’s our guiding principle. Local makes our mead the highest quality. Local supports our beekeepers and farmers. Local means integrating spirits from Ohio, local art and music into our Meadery & Bar located in the heart of Columbus. Local is what makes us distinct.

On draught at the tasting room. This Mead is a clear yellow-gold color with a minimal head and sticky legs on the glass. Aroma of green apple, spice and honey. Full-bodied with flavors of slightly tart apple, spice and floral honey. The finish is mildly tart apples and spice. A little less sweet and less "apple pie-like" than the original but overall still a good Mead.
