The meadery
A small room, a long bar and a lot of honey.
Thurrimel is a meadery and tasting room in the old seed store on Pell Street. We make the mead in the back room and pour it in the front one.
Made two barrels at a time.
Ruth Achterberg started making mead in her kitchen; Sol Mendez built the bar. They opened the tasting room in 2022 and still bottle every batch by hand on the bench in the back.
The honey comes from three beekeepers within twenty miles. What changes from one season to the next is which flowers the bees found.
What we care about
- Plain talk. We tell you what is in the glass and how it was made, without the wine words.
- Small pours first. A flight before a glass, a glass before a bottle.
- The honey season. When a batch runs out, it is gone until next year.
Come by on a Thursday.
Tables, tasting-night seats and bottle orders all start with a short request.
