What is Mead?

Rob answers the question ….what is Mead?

As Mead makers, we love to give people our creations and in turn have been asked this question hundreds of times… “What is Mead?“

Mead is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices or hops. The alcoholic content ranges from about 5% alcohol to more than 20%. The defining characteristic of mead is that the majority of the beverage is derived from honey. It may be still, carbonated, or naturally sparkling; dry, semi-sweet, or sweet.

Cheers!

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of flavors what generous prices and serving sizes. I only wish they were open more and closer. But until then I'll gladly take the 30-minute drive to get the best mead in WNY!

Best little hidden gem in west seneca! If you’ve never had mean, you’ve gotta stop in and try a flight. There’s something for everyone. The owners and their staff are super friendly and helpful and the product is delicious.

Great place to drink and very delicious. The owner Ken is very friendly and great to talk to. Would definitely go back again!

We were greeted by one of the owners as soon as we walked in. He was extremely helpful and described in detail every different drink they offered. The place is small, but welcoming and cozy. Even the bathrooms in the back were cozy and quaint. I definitely recommend this place and have a better knowledge of what mead is. I look forward to going again and trying different samples of new meads available!

I am obsessed with Queen Meadary! I love the drinks available there and especially their flights of Mead. It's a great place to go and try something new and relax. The employees there are very knowledgeable. It cost $10 for a flight of 4. And you can take some home with you for a variety of prices.

As a person who never before enjoyed the taste of mead, I am overjoyed to say that I loved all of the mead that I sampled at Queen City Meadery, located in a strip plaza in West Seneca. Looking for something new and fun to do on a Thursday night, my husband suggested that we try a flight of mead samples at Queen City Meadery. Knowing how much my husband loves mead, I agreed to accompany him. When we walked in the door, Ken, one of the three friends who own the place, greeted us. Ken gave us a quick education about mead along with a little history of this "elixir of the gods." Produced from the mixture of honey, water and yeast, mead is the oldest alcoholic drink known to man. We were given a menu of the different flavors that were available, and we decided to each try four different samples. As a palate cleanser, we were treated to a bowl of delicious dark chocolates. Ken was very knowledgeable and entertaining as he talked about how he and his two life-long friends and current business partners, decided to name the fourteen choices available. Some are named after wives: Amy, My Lil Mule, Screaming Wench, and Peacemaker. There is one named, "I Told You So," because it is 13% abv, and if you have more than one glass, well, you've been warned! This is a really cute little place where you can relax and enjoy some high quality adult beverages. There are tee shirts available to purchase, as well as an assortment of bottles of mead to take home. I highly recommend Queen City Meadery as a fun place to catch a BUZZ!

Went to the Queen City Meadery last night with my wife and was very impressed. The Bartender came right over and introduced himself and gave a nice explanation on Mead. He then made some recommendations and we tried a variety of different Meads. Some I liked more than others and some were just amazing (Peacemaker and Barrel of Monkeys). Overall great place and great experience.

Very awesome little place for an unusual alcoholic beverage. But be warned, alchohol is awesome but there is no food

Awesome local mead with great service. Edit 6/17: I've been wearing the hoodie we got there and it is sooooo soft on the inside and stayed like that after washing. Love the logo and "Don't be a buzzkill" on the back.

Savana Anderson

My husband and I had such a great experience here! The owner was so friendly and welcoming. We were visiting from out of town, but definitely feel like we could have made this a regular spot if we lived in Buffalo. We each got a flight and the meads were delicious. I enjoyed all the flavors, but my favorite was probably the wild bunch. My only recommendation would be to keep ice on hand for customers who like their drinks a little colder.

Scott Emerling

I've never had mead before coming here. It was delicious. The place is very small but the selection is good. You can have a glass of mead, or buy bottles too. Mead is an alcohol made by fermenting honey with water and various fruits, spices, hops etc.

Promptly greeted by one of the owners when we walked in, and had a great experience tasting all of the meads. I am so excited we have an establishment like this in West Seneca!

We went in the place, someone shook our hand and then we waited at the bar for a bit and was not acknowedged...ignored while new people walked in and the guy greeting people was yelling their orders. Too bad, we wanted to try the flights and brought our growler. FOOD - 1 STARS (Didn't get served) ATMOSPHERE - 1 STARS SERVICE - 1 STARS (Didn't get served) PRICE - ????

Jill Frenning

2019-07-19T03:23:53+0000

Small local business with at least 15 unique flavors of mead. They offer $10 flights and you can buy by the glass or bottles to take home. Nice tasting room inside and the owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained the process of how the mead is made and even let us see the back where they do production. Hopefully they'll offer more hours but they said that if they're closed to call because someone *might* be there and *might* let you come in! Highly recommend this place!! 10/10 will be back and will be introducing more friends to mead!read more

Had a fantastic time with our private party last night at The Queen City Meadery. The staff was very knowledgeable and not only taught us about how The Meads are made, but also gave us a tour and showed us where they are made. We were given a taste of 8 different meads for free, before choosing if we wanted a flight, a glass or a bottle. It was very reasonable priced and tasty!!!! There were 2 guitarists who also sang on the night we were there to make it even more fun!!! If you are looking for a fantastic night out with a group of up to 25, head on over and check it out!!!
