We went on an explanatory tour of the distillery as well as tasting the products. We came out with both honey liqueurs. It is a beautiful small eco-friendly urban beekeeping company! It was SUPER interesting, informative and funny at the same time. We loved it and would recommend this activity to everyone!! It's a great outing. Everyone there is smiling and friendly.

This was a delight. The outside is unassuming, and the inside is basic, but the tour and tasting were eye-opening. We learned about the company's bee-keeping operation and how far earning that is. We were shown the brewer and distillery with a clear description of the steps they take to make each of their products. Then came the tasting. We were given a choice of two of their various offerings. We started with a sample of the sparkling mead, and then we had our individual selections. I was surprised and pleased with my choices. I had wondered about the sweetness, but though made from honey, the flavors were complex and dry. I recommend visiting the facility and taking the tour for the facts, the tasting, and the great staff.
