Peter runs an excellent operation here. The meads themselves are exquisite; they are incredibly nuanced, and having had the opportunity to speak with Peter as I sampled, his knowledge and passion for his craft was plainly apparent. Some of the best meads I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing; can’t wait to go back and get another Maple Root Beer
Fantastic time with a wide array of excellent mead. The owner Peter is awesome and incredibly knowledgeable and loves to share what he knows about the process. Loved very moment I was there and can’t wait to go back.
Truly an incredible place. The mead is some of the best in the country and the space is so nice. I’m glad they do smaller sample pours so I could try a bunch of different things. 100% worth checking out if you’re in the area
Hands down one of the coolest hidden gems in Chicago period! The owner is one of the nicest and most passionate people on planet earth which elevates the taste and process of his craft which you're now wondering about this far in the review... the MEAD. It's amazing. The nectar of the gods. They are all winners. The atmosphere feels like you're hanging out with friends or in a secret club. Come with friends or alone; you'll have a blast and a belly full of mead! Cheers!
The best mead out there!
You want mead? This is definitely a place to go!
Great mead and a very kind owner at this hidden local spot!
Recently went here for the first time. I particularly enjoyed the Coffee Blossom and Oaxacan Forest Wildflower traditional meads but there were a wide variety of flavored meads too, all of which were great. The owner was more than happy to tell us the story of the business and answer all of our questions about the process, ingredients, etc. I'm looking forward to going again in the future!
Make it a spritz! Delicious mead, knowledgeable mead maker, great atmosphere. Come check it out!
Great place for a date night or to hang out with friends. Owner was super personable. They make all their meads on site. Shared two of the mead flights (sampled 8 different meads) ... Unique flavour combinations. Especially liked the apple crisp and the one with black currant and szechuan peppercorns (I doubted the combination at first, but it really goes nicely! )

Amazing place to socialize and drink.
Stopped in for the first time last night. I'm so happy to see a meadery open on the northside. Seems like the city is over run with breweries and distilleries. I had two flights. Each with a different mead. They were all good. My favorite, A Hill to Die On and Burn the Boats. Owner also gave us a taste of a new one in the works. It was tasty. Great place. Definitely stop in if you're in the area.
Excellent place for mead
