The guy knows his mead. Does a great job making something for everyone. You can tell they care a lot about flavor and quality. Probably some of the best mead I have every had and for those of you who have never had any before, this is a great place to go and have your first few glasses. Make sure to take your favorite flavors home if he has them in stock.

I've been going to Foxes Den Meadery for a few months now, and I have nothing but positive things to say. The owner, Rico, is a friendly guy who likes to chat about what goes into each batch of mead he makes, and shows a clear passion for the craft. Each month (sometimes every other week) he has new meads on tap, which incentives regular visits. The flavor profiles of each drink usually differ greatly, and overall it's a fun experience very similar to visiting a winery, yet a more casual and relaxing environment.
Foxes Den Meadery has two types of drinks on tap. Still meads, which are higher % ABV served room temp, and Sessions, which are about half the ABV and are served cold. If you get a chance to try the BOP Session (banana orange pineapple) which is one of their staples, I highly recommend it. It's a refreshing drink which is smooth and easy to drink, and I usually take some bottles (and soon to be cans) to go. The coconut variation of the BOP is one of my favorites, but Rico has made many iterations of his BOP that are each worth trying when you have the chance.
If you're in the area, or willing to make a trip (which is worth it), I'd highly recommend visiting Foxes Den Meadery. They offer unique and interesting alcoholic drinks with robust flavor profiles. Easily one of the highlights of Yorkville.

One of the best midwest meaderies. Friendly service and a frequent rotation of quality meads. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Best place in the area to try some meads. Their meads are mostly sweeter which I tend to prefer over the dry meads. But they also have a brewery next door and you can take your drinkers between the two places. Plus Rico is a super cool dude and really great to talk meads with. Such a cool vibe here As well as having great meads.

Everything we tried was so amazing. The owner is also the bartender and mead maker. This guy does it all and he does it all with such passion it's truly inspiring. Everyone should come here and check it out. You will not be disappointed in the slightest.

Fantastic Meadery!! Flew in from Montana, and had a few samples. The grapefruit was spot on! Thanks Rico.

A great place to drink the great variety and delicious Meade honey wines.

Can't go wrong with some really good meads....
Really nice atmosphere and amazing mead!
Being a lover of mead, the Mead was honestly not as great as I thought it would be. Great atmosphere though
