About
We certainly know that we wouldn’t be here if not for all of those that have come before us. What started many years ago as an obsession to try every beer and mead in existence has now led to an opportunity to come to the table with our own interpretation of what a mead can be. Playing most frequently in the dessert category, we are willing to push the boundaries at times and stretch past balance to bring out intense flavors and unique combinations in our products.

The name Pips is not only a nod to the seeds in fruits, but also to counting devices like the symbols on playing cards or the dots on a die. Though, most importantly, it is a nod to our son, Parker, who was born with special needs. Not knowing what his future holds, Pips will forever be a home to him as a family owned business.

We firmly believe in continuous improvement at Pips. We simply make what we enjoy drinking, and are beyond humbled when we can put a smile on even one other face as a result. That said, we actively seek out learning opportunities and always plan on listening to feedback from our customers. Every voice matters, for it is because of you that we are able to do what we love to do.

We thank you for your support and for joining us on this journey.

375mL bottle, drunk 2/18/24. Bright, violet-tinged boysenberry. Clear. Vanilla adds a rich, earthy, strong character to the nose, possibly outdoing the fruit itself. Rich, sweet honey. Rich, sweet, big honey, big boisterous fruit. Like Schramms, Pips kills it in the fruit but runs on the sweeter side. The vanilla helps balance here, drying out and gives it a bit more earthy depth.
