our mead story
Ancient Tradition
Run Amok Mead is located in West Gardiner, Maine where we make mead on the new moons and the full moons, fermenting the most delicious and delightful ingredients into amazing taste sensations, aligned with ancient tradition.
Honey wine
Erroneously described as honey wine, mead is a fermented beverage made from honey, yeast, and water. It isn’t really wine, because… there aren’t any grapes! But you get it, right? It’s LIKE wine (only cooler!)
The history of mead
The history of mead goes back some 8,000-ish years, making it one of the oldest of alcoholic beverages. At Run Amok Mead, we are determined to leave our mark on that history, and to make this ancient beverage new again. You might say Mead is the New Old. (Okay, you might not say that, but maybe somebody would.)

You Can't Step In The Same River Twice
The special thing about mead is that no two batches can ever be truly the same, much like you can’t step into the same river twice! Each year, the honey is a bit different, the ingredients we use are a little different, the process varies a tiny bit from batch to batch – every one is absolutely unique!
At Run Amok Mead we take those delicious and delightful ingredients, add them to honey, and turn it all into an amazing craft beverage taste experience. Probably the oldest fermented beverage known to man, mead is one of the most diverse and exciting libations available! Come and see!
