A Passion for Mead

Mead maker and owner Glenn Foster knows quality. Growing up and working in northern California’s wine country helped lay the foundation for a successful career in wine and mead making. He personally directs the production of each batch of mead to ensure every bottle meets or exceeds the high standards at Meadery of the Rockies.

Mead comes in many forms . . .

Simply stated, mead differs from grape wine in that its alcohol content is derived from the sugar in honey rather than the sugar in grapes. And, while some mead is carbonated like beer, malted barley and hops are typically not used in the fermentation process. From dry to sweet, there is a variety of ancient and modern mead to choose from:

Traditional ~ Mead simply made by fermenting a mixture of honey and water with yeast.

Melomel ~ Mead blended with fruit, either dried, fresh, puree, juice, or fruit wine, our favorite method!

Pymel ~ Mead fermented or mixed with grape juice or wine.

Cyser ~ Mead fermented or mixed with apples or apple juice.

Metheglin ~ Mead infused with spices and/or herbs, i.e. cinnamon & cloves.

Braggot ~ Mead that may be fermented with malt and/or hops, typically having high alcohol and fairly high residual sugar.

What is Mead?

Mead, quite simply, is a fermented mixture
of honey and water. Since it comes in many forms
from still to carbonated, dry to sweet, and blended
with all manner of other products and flavors,
mead is a very broad term. Our traditional
meads are made in a wine-like style with about
12% alcohol. They are crisp and fresh with
a delightful, mild flavor.

Orange Blossom Honey

Our proprietary meadmaking begins with 100% pure Orange Blossom honey. This special honey, in combination with local Rocky Mountain water, provides the foundation for all of our meads. We offer over a dozen varieties ranging from dry to sweet. Mellow yet crisp and fresh, with a flavor all its own, you’re sure to find a mead for any occasion!
