Where to buy mead?

[holiday_hawk]

Do you guys know of any chain stores that sell mead? The only place I've been able to find it is in one tavern, but I don't want to go to it every time I want a glass of mead! I've looked at Kroger and Wal Mart, but didn't see any. I've checked some of the craft beer stores around here, but couldn't find any there any there either. Where do you guys buy it?

Not hard to find around here, your location might help others help you.

And the logical question is why are you not making your own, there is a process on the forum that will have you going in a month.

Cheers!

You need a liqour store. One with a large wine section will be the best shot. Grocery stores seem to only carry Chaucer's, if the carry any mead at all. Chaucer's is not the best. Texas meads are the best.

My local Total Wine had about a half dozen varieties on hand.

That's true! I live in Athens, Ohio, which is in southeastern Ohio. I've thought about trying it, but I haven't gotten the courage to make anything besides beer yet.

I found a nearby, nice-looking wine store today that I've never heard of before. It's closed today for New Years, but I was planning on stopping there tomorrow to see their selection. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll have mead.

If not, ask if they would order some for you.

Really not that hard and it takes me a lot less time then brewing a beer

I've never tried any of these & don't know how far they are from you, but they're in OH:

I'd think they should all be able to ship within the state, depends on OH law though.

Mead is technically a wine so it should be in the wine section if a place deems it worthy to sell. Up in New Hampshire there's 2 pretty decent sized Meaderies so at some of the more local oriented shops you'll find them there.

The Whole Foods by my house carries a whole 2 brands, Moonlight and San Francisco. Not the best selection but better than nothing.

Agree with above...find a liquor store but first i would try a nicer wine shop

I finally found some, the wine store had a decent selection of it.
