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. Pips is awesome. Reddish color. Big sticky legs on the glass. Huge bouquet of fresh sugary berries. Oranges, very vinous red grapes to me, cranberry. Smooth, lovely palate. Maybe some vanilla. Sweet, not cloying.

Bottle at RBSG. Pours a reddish hue. A huge bouquet of berries, sweet, light alcohol. Sugary honey, sweet rich berries, syrup, a bit of sourish berry notes. Very smooth. Heat, but smooth. Lovely.

375ml bottle pours out a ruby red. Nose is big cranberries honey sweetness. Taste is nice the tart berries cut some of the heavy honey sweetness. A very nice combo of the sweet and tart. Another homerun for Pips.

Magnum at RBSG 17 Grand Tasting. Had sampled this once before, so anxious to tick it for good. As great as I remembered, really full aroma of blueberries and cashews. Taste too is spot on, like you were eating fresh blueberries. This mead’s got it going on!

Bottle at RBSG 17 grand tasting. Another home run. These guys know their stuff. Pink pour, flat. Fruity aroma reflects both the berries and darker pit fruit, and some of the honey. Taste is sweet and full, rich and decadent. Flows like a river over the tongue. Beautiful.
