Jack and I had a wonderful conversation with Ross and Dru from Honeytree Meadery in Nashville. We had never tasted mead before, so it was amazing to learn more about this craft. We highly recommended you go and try it if you are ever visiting Nashville! We were able to do a podcast in their brewery/bar - it was a fun set up.

Honeytree Meadery is Nashville’s premier craft meadery.

Economy + Ecology + Education.

"Here at Honeytree we produce quality meads through environmentally sustainable processes. We also work to build community around this special drink by enlightening and educating our patrons.  It’s our mission to update the ancient beverage for the modern consumer while retaining the age-old spirits of kinship and reverence for nature."
