Greenwich Cove Meadery

Recently we sent our own DJ Psycho Eddie to scope out the new Greenwich Cove Meadery, here are his thoughts... 

Today I took a trip to the Greenwich Cove Meadery. I have to say, I was highly impressed, and I think you will be too! 

Currently still in the soft open stage (open on limited days for tastings and sales only) they have 5 different offerings to sample, buy by the glass to enjoy on premise, or purchase to take home in 500ml and 1Liter grolsch bottles. 

They also have raw unfiltered honey, in different size containers.

If you have not been exposed to mead, it is a wine made from honey instead of grapes. It usually
has more body due to the honey it's made from, also the alcohol content is higher due to the
fermenting sugars. They do not boil the honey before the fermentation or filter it afterward. 
This is a 100% natural product.

Upon my visit I was able to sample:

Pyment - made with wine grapes. This had a great flavor!

Golden Good - #1 and #2 ­Made with cinnamon spices and apple there were two
batches available. #2 had more cinnamon. (Like drinking apple pie.)

Cranberry - Cranberry flavor was pronounced with a tart, dry flavor.

Berry Bliss - mixed berry flavor, also surprisingly tart.

These 5 are all for sale, but I was also able to try some experimental batches like Pineapple and
Ghost Pepper!!! Both were fabulous even though the Ghost Pepper was a bit too spicy for some that tried it.

All of the honey used here is 100% raw, unfiltered, locally sourced, and hand gathered. As I talked
to the staff during the tasting, I found out how knowledgeable they are about the products they make and sell and the processes in getting raw ingredients to finished product.This would make a great stop for anyone to learn about mead and its history. 

 Hopefully they have a long future!
