commercial examples of mead
Question:
Now, I know that mead isn’t beer but there’s no other newsgroup besides these two which could give me the answer to this question. I want to try some commercially available mead. I live in Dallas and the Whole Foods Market here is said to have it at times but I don’t know what brands to look out for. Can you guys help?
To be honest, there arn’t any good commercial meads out there today. There was a mead available in OK/TX, but I havn’t been able to find it for some time. It’s called Kedem Mead. It’s from Israel. The best answer is, make your own. If you are game, I have several dozen good recipies. Good hunting. Barat — Barat

Sure . . look no further than Dallas for your Mead. The first Meadery in the SouthWest (I think…) will soon be open.
No, it’s not the first! The Rocky Mountain Meadery in Palisade, Colorado opened last spring. Their phone is 970 464-7899. They make straight mead for dry to sweet and fruit flavored mead.

Anyone want to send me $100,000 so I can open a meadery in Mead, Colorado? No? Darn. Hugh — Can you guess whose opinion that was?| J.Mass.Bar Assoc., April 1992

The Chaucer’s Mead mentioned is from Bargetto’s Winery in Soquel, Calif. (or maybe Capitola). I saw it for sale with spice bags to make warm, spiced mead. — Robert Teeter | "Ripeness is all." San Jose | — Shakespeare

I missed the original post and it looks like this thread is concentrating on what’s available in the Western US, but here’s my two-cents from Upstate NY. There’s a small meadery in Cambridge, NY (near Manchester, VT) called The Meadery. They sell mead, honey, beeswax products, and herbs on-site. They have honeys from a variety of flowers. The meads are (I believe) all still meads. One is flavored with hops (very strange), others have fruits and/or spices and range from very sweet to dry finish. Since the owners are of Scandinavian (Norwegian?) origin, the meads are named on a Norse theme. e.g. Thor’s Raspberry Mead. I was pleasantly surprised to find one or two of their meads on the shelf of a local liquor store next to mead from Bunratty Castle in Ireland (the only other commercial mead I’ve ever had).

A local wine retailer here in Raleigh carries a mead from California and I intend to buy it whenever they get it back in stock. I think is called "Chaucer’s Honey Mead". Not sure of spelling, but that is pretty close to the correct name. As I say, I’ve never tried it, but the hombrew store owner here recommended it.

I know of a commercial meadery in upstate New York; I think it is called "The Meadery" and is in Greenwich or Cambridge. Both are in the 518 area code, so you could call information for their number. I have stopped in in-person and bought mead and I know they do mail order. Also carry many honey and beeswax products, and they have a neat active bee frame inside the tasting room – the bees enter via a pipe to/from the outside.
