meads
Made with honey, and dating back to Biblical times, mead was probably the first fermented beverage. More versatile than liquor, wine, or beer, mead can taste like a refreshing summer shandy, a hoppy IPA, a full-bodied Cabernet, or a fine dessert wine.
21-Bean Salute
Starting with a blend of local honey and buckwheat honey fermented to semi-sweetness, we infuse vanilla beans and a potent dose of Steamworks’ coffee beans to create a uniquely delicious mead that can be enjoyed with rich desserts, at the end of a long day, or even with breakfast.

Jigger of Madness
A bochet is made by fermenting burnt honey—which tastes much better than it sounds. Our version, made with buckwheat and clover honey, has been described as reminiscent of cigar ash (“but in a good way”), coffee, rum, and even figgy (as in the pudding). Never fear, you won’t have to sing to get your own, be it a jiggerful or more.
