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.

Tucked away on Broadway, this cozy little tasting room is a hidden gem that's well worth seeking out. The atmosphere has a fun medieval feel that perfectly matches the history behind mead, one of the world's oldest alcoholic beverages. Whether you're already a mead fan or trying it for the first time, the staff makes the experience enjoyable and educational. They happily explain the different styles, from traditional honey meads to fruit-infused varieties, and offer complimentary tastings so you can discover what suits your palate best. Their meads are crafted with Pennsylvania honey and local ingredients, making each pour feel like a true taste of the region. I also appreciated that they offer wines in addition to their meads, so there's something for everyone. There was a great selection ranging from dry to sweet, making it easy to find a favorite. I ended up leaving with a bottle to enjoy at home because the tasting made it impossible not to! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable without ever making you feel rushed. They took the time to answer questions and made the tasting feel personal rather than just another stop along Broadway. Stonekeep is one of those unique places that adds to the charm of Jim Thorpe. Whether you're spending the day shopping, exploring the historic town, or just looking for a relaxing tasting experience, this is definitely a stop I'd recommend. I'll absolutely be back on my next visit!

Very down-to-watch/approachable and willing to do whatever they could to ensure our event was a success! Their meade is delicious and comes in a variety of flavors, yet all presented in a way that doesn't detract from meade's unique qualities. I highly recommend stopping by their tasting room in Bethlehem for a one-of-a-kind experience!

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.

They have some tvs above the bar and a couple tv for playing some old school games. There's some cool murals on the walls and some mead names like Wu-Tang Cran. Tried their meads at some festivals before but their storefront had a long list of different meads under traditional and sparkling category. They also have ciders, hard seltzers, slushies, and guest beers. I ordered 2 different flights just because there were so many things that sounded interesting. There's Arnold Palmer, hibiscus, rhubarb, pumpkin spiced, chai, chocolate cayenne, raspberry chipotle, and so many more! They're dog friendly and have some snacks like chops and salsa and charcuterie. But you're welcome to bring food from any of the many places nearby, like the Flying V.

From barista to kitchen, Dominik took care of us with essence. We decided to chill by the picnic area. The vibes were very calming yet comfortable. We sipped several glasses of wine, munched on a simple cheese plate along with garlic toast, then finishing off our ever endless convos nibbling on rich red wine fudge... surrounded by scenic views. You can actually see the production factory inside. Dominik says that you can see them in action during the fall. Hope to be back again for another visit then. P.s their jade plant is so beautiful!

The live music added a great touch, and it was lovely to relax with friends in the crisp autumn air. Service was friendly, but there were a few letdowns. Seating is limited, so be prepared to stand or get cozy. The cider was underwhelming and not served very cold, which took away from the experience. The charcuterie came in a plastic to-go box and was pretty basic--not quite what you'd expect from such a picturesque setting. Also worth noting: the bathrooms are porta-potties, which might be a dealbreaker for some.

We came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all. We opted for the sweet wine flight to share. The wines started off as follows: 1. Waywayanda white 2. Summer fields 3. Harvest time 4. International red 5. Ruby's kiss The first wine was very light and bland tasting for my opinion. My boyfriend loved it and actually bought a bottle of it. Summer fields was sweeter but definitely a lighter style wine. Three tasted like a Christmas season mulled wine but was absolutely delicious. Four was a very dry wine. I left that for my boyfriend to drink as I was not a fan. He enjoyed it and said it was crisp and a nice cold red. Ruby's kiss as always is delicious and a great drink. Taking away a star because we had politely asked our service what the Apple Dave's Distillery was next door and she responded with such attitude and disgust that was asked "that's an entirely separate business" and then abruptly left our table. Not sure what the issue was asking a simple question but it left a weird vibe I did not enjoy.
