It ain’t a party without a House Bear. Or two.

House Bear Brewing may be one of the OG meaderies. They were founded in 2013 which puts them ahead of most–also around the time craft beer was taking off. Like the Vikings, HBB had a long road ahead of them as selling mead is no easy task. In order to stay in business, HBB would have to outwit craft breweries, wineries, and whiskey distilleries. And that is exactly what they did. What was once a lineup of mostly modern-traditional meads, soon became a playground for the enthusiast and novice. Looking to take a small step into mead, try their Bloody Joe (a mead based Bloody Mary). Well versed on meads, than maybe the Show Bear is what you are looking for. Regardless of where you stand, they have a mead for you. As HBB says, “You say that you don’t like mead, but that is because you haven’t found the right one yet.”

Cheers!
