The Colony Meadery

Tucked inside the country’s oldest bookstore lies the world’s oldest alcoholic beverage: mead. Made from fermented honey, this ancient libation is enjoying a renaissance. With complex profiles and a smooth mouthfeel, these meads offer mellow flavors like sarsaparilla, refreshing mint, hoppy citrus, and even a sparkling variety—the perfect thing to sip midsummer. Cheers!
