FAQs

  • What is Mead?

    • Mead is simply alcohol fermented from honey. It can be made like a beer, a wine, a spirit, or something else. Most of our meads are in the “something else” category. Almost half way between wine and spirits our higher ABV meads are unique, very flavorful, and taste unlike anything else!

  • Do you make your own Mead?

    • We do! We make all of our mead at our Gillette, Wyoming production facility. All mead is made here and then shipped throughout the United States and SE Asia.

  • Do you make your own Beer?

    • We do! We make our beer both at our Gillette, Wyoming brewery and at our Sioux Falls, South Dakota brewery. Some of the beers are the same, some of the beers are different- but they’re all made by us in house.

  • Where do you get your honey from?

    • Our honey mostly all comes from with three hours of Gillette, Wyoming. We primarily use clover honey in most of our meads. Sometimes we use other specialty honey varietals or appellations for smaller batch products. This honey can come from about anywhere.
