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.

Bottle shared at Kim Jong Un Buurtcentrum Zaandam. Deep dark purple with no head. Aroma of rich dark berries, oak, tart red berries, vanilla and floral honey. Flavour is heavy sweet with a balancing but slightly too high sourness. Full bodied with a thick texture and soft carbonation.

Bottle at share. Pips does it again, another Mead that tastes exactly like the name implies. Bananas and maple syrup, hell even the butter is evident in there. Sweet and sticky and tasty. Incredible!
