Sweet with a little heat. This full-strength mead was made from wildflower honey, tart Balaton cherries, and chipotle peppers (smoked red jalapenos).

Mango mead with black pepper. Swallow this... Many years ago, a mysterious book was discovered by a group of friends in a Ferndale, MI basement. A translation of its contents revealed the recipe for an ancient beverage using mango juice, honey and black pepper. What they didn't realize was that creating the beverage had dire consequences. Stricken by fear after its completion, the friends tried to contain the terrifying forces into this very bottle. Once opened, however, no one can say for sure if it can be conquered. Defend your soul or join us...

A hard cider with black currant that screams METAL.

Cherry Hard Cider. Essential elements- Apple, cherry. Appearance - Deep pink and clear with a light, lacy head that quickly dissipates. Aroma - Crisp, clean apple cider, round, ripe tart cherry. Experience - Tart cherry sweetness up front with full, yet crisp fermented cider. Heavy apple skin compliments the cherry. Sweet, creamy honey rounds the flavor and balances the tartness of the cherry. Light carbonation lifts the flavor while the honey smooths the overall mouthfeel. Finishes crisp and clean.

A ‘Pyment’ (pie-ment) is a mead made with grapes. This one is made with clover honey, shiraz grape juice, and natural wildberry concentrate. It is full bodied and semi-sweet. Makes a great sangria or try it over ice as a spritzer.

Apple mead with spices. Apple Pi - The name is nothing. It’s the meaning. It is what’s between the ingredients that matters. Mead is everywhere. When you graph the many flavors of B. Nektar mead, patterns emerge. The apple, the honey, the spices, they all come together. Dozens of hands at work, dozens of minds. My hypothesis: Within the mead market there are patterns as well, hiding behind the ingredients.

Agave and Lime Mead

Hard cider with ginger and lemon.
A knife slices the skin of a lemon, the juice sprays out landing in a beautiful array on a plastic-wrapped table. Neat, little pieces of ginger join the dismembered lemon to be dumped overboard into a vast sea of apple cider. They deserve it. Precise, and with purpose, to make the world a better place. If it’s to be executed, it must fit the code. The trophy is in the bottle.
