Ever wonder what the world’s oldest drink tastes like when it actually joins the 21st century? Spoiler alert: it’s delicious and "crushable."

Come hang out with me at Square Peg Pizzeria in Preston this Friday, 3/13 around 8 pm! I’ll be pouring samples of Honey Keg’s mead and answering all your burning questions: like "what on earth is mead" or "Will it make me feel like a Viking?" (Probably).

Mead is simply fermented honey, but we craft ours to be crisp, refreshing, and perfect for modern palates. Whether you're a craft beverage pro or just mead-curious, come say hi and see why Honey Keg’s mead is the ultimate pizza partner.

If you can’t join the party this Friday, you can always grab your fix of Honey Keg’s mead over at Lu-Mac's Package Store in Preston.

Let’s talk mead and eat some pizza! See you there.

Spring is just around the corner, and things are buzzing over at the hives! 🐝

Checking in on the colonies today for some early spring maintenance. Even though there's still a chill in the air, the bees are waking up and getting hungry. This is a critical time for beekeeping: we're getting them fed and energized with pollen and sugar to make sure the hive is strong for the season ahead.

Did you know that some of Honey Keg’s mead actually begins right here? Healthy bees mean great honey, and great honey is the secret to an amazing mead. It’s a process that starts months before the first batch is ever canned.

While the bees are busy prepping for the flowers to bloom, you can grab a taste of the finished product. Honey Keg’s mead is sold in cans, making it easy to take on your own spring adventures.

Swing by Lu-Mac's Package Store in Preston to stock up on cans, or you can also grab a bottle of our mead at Square Peg Pizzeria in Preston to see what the buzz is all about!

A bit of bottling tonight.

While some people know what mead is, I recognize not everyone may know what mead is (or how good it can be).

Mead is an alcoholic beverage with honey as the primary fermentable. This compares to grapes for wine or grains for beer.

The perception is mead is always this sickly sweet alcohol and is the stuff vikings used to fill up their horns with. There might be truth to some of that, but it most definitely isn't just a sickly sweet drink. Mead can be spiced, made with fruit, be sweet, be really dry (teaser for that red mead in the picture).

Instead of reading this, give it a try. With the holidays coming up I only have a little of the Apple Mead left. Try something different for the holidays.

New mead release!

Thats My Jam is officially out.
Blueberry-forward, a little vanilla, and coming in at an easy 5% ABV.

It’s smooth, mildly sweet, and dangerously crushable — the kind of mead you open “just to try” and somehow finish. Perfect for jam sessions, porch sitting, or pretending you’re only having one.

Available now at Lu-Mac's Package Store. Grab it while it’s fresh.

Boy thats an aggressive ferment. This is batch #2 of An Apple a Day and all those little bubbles that you see in there is carbon dioxide created as part of the fermentation process. The particular yeast we use in this recipe is known for very aggressive fermentation.

Batch #1 is almost sold out already so get some while it lasts! This mead is seasonal so once the cider goes away, so does this mead.
