    Mead flight
    Christopher M.

    I'm not a big Meadery type of guy so I'm probably not the best reviewer for this place. My lady and I were there for a Pitt alumni get together. The venue is pretty cool and the location is convenient with the distillery and brewery nearby. It's a pretty cool concept overall. I also like the self serve water cooler but the flow rate is a bit slow. We ended up ordering a flight of different meads. I was hoping we could mix and match with the ciders since it was the same price but they didn't allow which was a major bummer. The bartender was nice and chatty and helpful. If I'm ever there again, I'll probably get a cider next time.

    I appreciate this place because it's not common and I support new ideas. They had a wide variety of flavors to choose from and the staff was very helpful and nice. The tea infused Meade was my favorite.

    Great mead. The place was clean, open , good vibe, and Kate was the best. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience as enjoyable as it could be. Also, anyone would find the right mead or cider to fit their taste after talking to her. Definitely worth going back to the Allentown location..and I live in Jersey.

    Joined some friends for a tour and tasting at this hidden gem Meadery. The tour was conducted by one of the co owners who was very knowledgeable and passionate about his product. He passed on information about mead, honey and bees that I never knew about. Some of you that have tasted mead wine sold in the state stores and did not like it have to try these. They are true honey meads not mixed with wine. All the flavoring are made with natural ingredients. Everything we tasted today was delicious. Our tour included tastes of five different meads. The first, Straight No Chaser was a semi sweet traditional mead made with just orange blossom honey. I really enjoyed it but my favorite of the tasting was Woofiedog. It was made with hops. This mead had a lite hop flavor without the hops bitterness. We had a grapefruit and lime flavored mead which was good. A mojito flavored version tasted just like it's namesake. The final taste was Sasparilla , for those of you who like cream soda this is the flavor for you. They let us keep our tasting glasses and had many other flavors that they were willing to let us try in their comfortable tasting room but that will have to wait until our next visit. If you are hungry a interesting food truck is parked outside.

    This is the best Meadery I have ever been to. Most places serve the same super sweet golden colored Meade with just a subtle infusion of flavors. The creations here are amazing. They offer many different types of Meade and their infusions are great. This is located next to a brewery and a distillery. So you have a great location for multiple sampling. Foods trucks are always on hand for a tasty bite as well.

    We stumbled into The Colony Meadery after walking through the Moravian Book Shop and I'm so glad we did! This was my first experience with mead and it was amazing. The bf and I started with one tasting which included our choice of 5 meads to try. We enjoyed it so much and wanted to try more flavors, that we decided to do a second tasting. The mead selection is awesome, so many different flavors to try, and even better, you can buy them after. I thought the price point was fitting, most of the flavors were around $12, a great buy! Carol was very helpful and answered any questions we had. I love that they have a small cafe style seating area where you can comfortably have a seat and relax during your tasting. Our favorites, which we also purchased a bottle of each were: Earle, Wu Tang Cran, Pikwant Field, Up the Hibs, and Lemon Laws. Also, they offer the tasting rack and their signature "Get Buzzed" glasses for purchase. I thought the rack was so cute, I had to buy it! Don't think I really needed it but, under the influence of mead it seemed necessary at the time, so no buyers remorse haha! I also just checked out the website and see that they have descriptions and pairing suggestions for each meade, also you can order online! Awesome features being that we were just in town for the weekend. Will definitely stop by next time we're in Bethlehem and order more mead online in the future!

    We purchased a Groupon while in town to check out this Meadery! The owner (I can't remember his name) was very knowledgable and friendly! You can see he is really passionate about what he does. They let us sample as many meads as we wished and then gave us a tour. I definitely learned A LOT! We purchased the strawberry and kiwi mead which set us back $12, but it was well worth it. Great experience and great tour!

    Nice variety of mead.

    Add to that the ridiculous amount of varieties they have and there is in fact a mead for everyone.

The…read morePennsylvania state stores only carried a honey flavored, grape based wine... just a simulated mead. 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!

We parked across the street in the gravel lot, signs have the buildings number (252) on them designating the spots. Building does have stairs, but they also have a small lift for handicap accessibility. Interior looks exactly like you would expect in a place like this, full of wood everywhere. Due to COVID restrictions, you have to order food, and they have a basic menu that includes things like hot pretzel braids. Our group sampled various Mead's and liked them, but they do offer Beer and Soda. Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The highlight of the trip and worth every dollar was the axe throwing. You purchase a ticket at the main register, walk over to the throwing area, and sign in. They give you clear instruction how to do it and you're throwing. The instructor was great and very personable.

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.

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!
