How a tasting works, in plain words

Four small glasses, one at a time

  1. Take a seat

    At the bar, or at a tasting table if you asked for one. We ask for a photo ID first.

  2. Choose four

    Pick any four meads from the board, or let us choose a run from dry to sweet.

  3. We pour and talk

    Two ounces of each, poured one at a time, with a few words on the honey and what went in.

  4. Take a bottle, or not

    Nobody has to buy. If you liked one, we bag a bottle at the counter on your way out.

21 and over, every visit

We pour only for guests 21 and over with a photo ID, and we ask everyone, even regulars. Family members under 21 are welcome to sit with you until 8pm; we have sparkling apple juice for them.

Bottle pickup

Order ahead and we set the bottles aside with your name. Pick them up any time we are open within fourteen days, pay at the counter, and show your ID. We do not ship or deliver.

Save a tasting table for your group.
