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 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.

Sample at the tasting room during Bourbon Barrel Aged Meads Release Day on 11/22/2015. Clear pale yellow color with tiny bubbles around the edges and sticky legs on the glass. Bourbon, honey and spice in the nose. Full-bodied with an oaky bourbon character with notes of floral honey and spiced fruit. The finish is boozy with a bourbon aftertaste. Good Mead all around.
