BLUF: Best mead in VA. Limited seating.
Drinks (5/5): They have the BEST mead in all of VA. They use more honey than any other meadery I've been to. Usually meaderies use a lot of juice to save money on the honey, but not this place. If you tilt their bottles, it takes TIME for that mead to shift. That's how you know it's more honey than juice. It's absolutely amazing. I haven't had a single flavor here that I didn't like. You can't go wrong with anything here. The pricing is good. It's more expensive to buy a bottle here than from Mom's Apple Pie down in Bluemont, which is weird, since this is where the mead comes from. But either way, you support an amazing business.
Service (5/5): GREAT service. The owner mans the counter and is so nice and explains the different flavors and the whole process! You get a mead lesson AND get to drink.
Ambiance (5/5): So. You pull up to what seems like someone's backyard with a shipping container on it. The parking lot is gravel, there's PLENTY of parking tho, so don't worry about that. Then you just walk over to the shipping container and BAM you're at the bar. There is VERY limited seating, so don't expect to bring a whole group of people here and expect to sit down. You're lucky to find 2 seats next to each other. The scent of honey lingers in the air, making the whole room smell delicious.
TLDR: Great mead. read more
