Really cool place to check out for some different stuff. If you're in to mead then this is a place…read more Just as an FYI - all of their mead is Gluten Free so they don't have any Braggots (mead made with grains) so a lot of their stuff is sweeter and lighter. I would have appreciated a little bit of a heavier bodied mead but since they are GF, I can understand their lines. Huge variety of meads to try, bottles to buy and a wide variety of them on tap for flights. They have different styles of flights. Our server was really knowledgable and helped make the experience better. They have a yearly club that has some cool perks like a custom drinking horn and a free tasting of every new mead the make.

This place has great homemade ciders on tap, creative cocktails, well thought-out atmosphere - and the icing on top was having great conversation and company with Randy the bartender & Steve the owner. We closed the place out and had a blast. I wish we had a place like this closer to home in NJ. If you like viking decor, axe-throwing, mead, hard cider, and good company - do not sleep on this place !!

Walking around the downtown stretch, my husband and I spotted this place and stopped in. What a…read moregreat idea! We each ordered a flight, and they also gave us a few thimbles of some additional meads so we got s ton of variety. I truthfully don't remember all of the ones I tried, but my favorite was the mango-pineapple mead. It was absolutely delicious! The staff was so friendly and helpful, and they had a ton of decorations that were fun and Halloween-esque.

However, today I was excited to find the Rebel Hive Meadery while browsing in the Fairgrounds Farmers Market! This was the first weekend they were open for business. Mike and Ryan were informative, helpful and welcoming. Ryan poured samples of their meads for tasting. I'm not going to attempt a mead review, as I'm inexperienced and was focused on simply tasting their basic mead, called "It's Not You, It's Mead". It was positively delicious! With my best French accent... "It was bright with hints of Concord grapes!". Haha, actually they assured me that there are no grapes in this mead! It is so special to have discovered Rebel Hive Meadery. I encourage you to try them out!

The mead isn't as sweet as we're used to and has more of a wine taste. A nice balance and classy! It's a new location so when we visited the tasting room wasn't open yet, but we were able to go inside their shop and sample their meads and have a glass, buy bottles, and look at merch. The indoors is dog friendly and they also have an outdoor tent if you order to be outside. The owners pup is onsite and so cute!

It's well-decorated and with classical music playing the background helped make it a really nice atmosphere. The meads were delicious and I plan to order some online since I live too far away to casually drop by. The service is fantastic and the flavors of the meads were well described. You get a tray of large, hard pretzels which was a really nice touch. I'll definitely be coming back here during my annual trip out east for a conference!

A GF sent me a TikTok reel of the Brewery since she has celiac & I have a GF intolerance. My husband & I enjoyed both of our flights we got. As seen in the picture provided I did a cider flight as well as my husband. Then my husband decided to try the meads and did a flight of those. I ended up just getting a 4 Oz of another cider. The staff were super helpful with recommendations & they were super friendly! We enjoyed the environment of the Brewery as well! Will definitely have to take a trip back again soon!

Wow. This place is incredible. Looks like a typical NJ brewery both inside and out (located in an…read moreindustrial park with the usual exposed beam ceiling and concrete floors inside) but plot twist: they only brew ciders and meads. No beer. But the ciders and meads are phenomenal. My girlfriend and I stopped in yesterday on a Saturday afternoon, which was our first time there. We each tried a cider flight and a mead flight and loved everything. Definite standouts for me were the Mother Muse and Tulsi (both had a nice mix of sweet fruit taste with a hint of herbs like rosemary and basil) and the Ayamarcay with its decadent peanut/chocolate flavor. The story of how this place came to be is just as incredible. Founding member Christian Annese was misdiagnosed many years ago with Celiac, which led him to the world of ciders and meads. At the time, NJ laws made it incredibly difficult to brew quality cider, and mead was effectively illegal. So Christian and his partners worked tirelessly with NJ legislators to change the law, and in 2020 Armageddon opened for business. Highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be back!

I've enjoyed visits to both their Fleetwood and Jim Thorpe tasting rooms. I really dig the medieval vibe. It makes both locations feel unique, and not quite like your typical tasting room experience. This is the type of place you would bring someone if they were visiting from out of town and we're looking for something off the beaten path. While Stonekeep produces both wine and mead, it is the latter which truly stands out. My favorite selections are the Red Raspberry Melomel and the Blue Muninn. Both offerings are absolutely delicious, and an excellent way to introduce someone to mead who may not be familiar with the drink. Both are excellent on their own, but really hit a whole new level when paired with chocolate. Consider busting out these meads for your after dinner course when entertaining at home. Or, if you're by yourself, feel free to pour yourself a glass and sit in front of the fireplace.
