Our Current Lineup (March 2023):
Listed Dry to Sweet
 |
Devil's Footprint: ABV 13.1% A devily delightful sipping mead. Blueberries, raspberry and blackberries locally sourced are fermented with raw local honey to make this dry, tart mead. And a great local historic story to go along with the name! |
 |
Minuteman: ABV 12.3% Toast to the Minutemen and their ladies! |
 |
Beekeeper: ABV 14.5% A limited release special mead! This mead is made with rare to find (in New England) rich, dark Buckwheat honey. This robust, earthy honey is fermented to a high ABV and tart local cherries. In honor of all the local beekeepers, and one of the first in the area, John Ells of Newbury who operated an apiary in Newbury in 1640s. |
 |
Mother Clucker: ABV 13.1% This tart mead, made with locally sourced gooseberries and red currants, will tingle your pallet! Gooseberries, which are wildly popular all over Europe and are famed for making delicious desserts, and red currents are combined for a berry forward, fantastic mead! |
 |
Stinger: ABV 13.0% Clover honey mead is aged with locally grown ginger (Red Fire Farm) and organic lemons. A perfect summer deck treat! Try with gin for a “healthy” gimlet cocktail! Also nice mulled in the cooler weather. |
|
|
Beewitched: ABV 12.5% A Semi-sweet mead made with fresh, raw Maine clover honey. If dry or sweet is not your thing, give this a try! Plus, there is a great story to go with it- just read the label about Mazer's Dan x generation grandmother, hung as an accused witch in Salem. |
 |
Wicked Wench: ABV 13.7% Semi-sweet traditional mead made with northshore MA wildflower honey. It does not get more local, or better, than this! A good middle of road sweetness, with earthy characteristics of the local fall honey. |
 |
'Lil Jack Horner: ABV 16.5% A great after dinner sipper made with local plums and local wildflower honey. This special release has been aged for 18 months. This mead goes down nice and smooth! An off-dry melomel mead. |
 |
Strawberry Fields: ABV 13.7% Mounds of beautiful, locally grown, red fragrant berries make this mead one of our stand outs. On the tongue, the berry flavor explodes, and then a hint of cinnamon lingers on your palate. This mead is a semi-sweet wine. |
 |
Viking Victory: NEW BATCH!! ABV 15.5% A spiced mead (metheglin) made with bamboo honey. Perfect for sipping while sitting in front of the fireplace! Mulled with Nutmeg, Allspice, Cinnamon and Cloves. Metheglins have been around for literally a millennium! |
 |
Peach's Point - Peach/vanilla: ABV 13.0% One of our more "dessert" type meads, mostly because of the madagascar vanilla we add during our aging process. Juicy, fully ripe, local peaches are fermented with wildflower honey for this tasty delight! This year we used TWICE as many peaches, and pressed the fruit to get more flavor in the mead! |
 |
Raspberry Delight: ABV 15.0%
This mead has been described as "Dangerously Delicious"! It exactly what you would expect from a mead made with fresh local honey and raspberries from a local family owned farm! Sweet and tart! |
 |
Jason's Blunder: ABV 14.3% A mistake gone good. An accidental combining of our cranberry and strawberry meads, with the raspberry added as a balancer, the mead drinker is introduced to sweet red berry delight! A terrible mistake that has gone good. We made Jason write the label, so you will have to read it to get his full story! |
 |
Orange Elation: ABV 13.7% We went out of the area for the orange blossom honey in this straight up mead, but we think you'll agree, this mead is a staple of any wine cellar! If you have never tried mead,and like sweet start here! |
 |
TOPSAIL NEW BATCH!! 20% ABV This special limited release mead was two years in the making. First a blueberry mead brandy was made by distilling some blueberry mead, then we put that into some more blueberry mead to make a "port-style" mead that was aged for 18 months! A great mead to share with friends! |
OTHER MEADS
These are meads we have made in the past, and will likely make in the near future!
 |
Choate Bridge Cyser: ABV 13.7% Get a blast of apple flavor and touch of fall with this mead, one of our lighter elixirs. Perfect for a hot summer day, or a lighter winter wine. This is one of our dryer meads. Think a combination of a hard cider and a mead! |
 |
Puritan Pride: ABV 14.5% Just like the puritans of old, nothing fancy here! A dark wildflower is fermented dry and aged on American Oak. More similar to a wine then some of our other meads, with some earthy and vanilla tones. It is dry - so don't be caught of guard! |
 |
Blueberry Dream: ABV 14.3% Blueberries, from Cider Hill Farms in Amesbury, have been fermented with raw Massachusetts honey. This year we also added some low bush blueberries from Maine to increase the blueberry color and flavor. This is one of our favorite products- always jumping with flavor, this provides thoughts of a late summer rest in a hammock. We strive to capture the true blueberry flavor, with careful crafting. This a dryer mead with a hint of sweetness. |
 |
Serendipity: ABV 13.0% Ginger Pear Mead with a great story. Made with local honey, "Clapp's Favorite" pear, and locally sourced ginger (yes they grow that here!). This is on the dryer side for our meads, good with dinner. Think Asian food! |
 |
In The Orchard: ABV 12.5% A semi-sweet apple mead (sweeter than our other cyser) made with local cider, local honey, and aged with Indonesian cinnamon. This a must after a day apple picking in New England and better as a chilled summer sipper! Yum! |
 |
