Bee Town Mead & Cider, proudly stationed in Bluffton, South Carolina, holds the dubious honour of being the state’s first production meadery. It treats the world’s oldest fermented drink not as a dusty museum piece but as a playground for both tradition and invention. The menu reads like a mischievous quiz: floral‑kissed Cotton Blossom mead sits beside the bracing Colonial Heritage Hard Apple Cider, while the coffee‑infused, multi‑award‑winning Coffee Bean Mead proves that a good brew can wake you up better than any alarm clock (even if you’d rather be sleeping).
Seasonal drafts bring a circus of odd couples – think cranberry orange – to the fore, and the refillable sparkling‑mead jugs are a nod to both sustainability and the pleasure of topping up without the drama of a bottle cap. A wide variety of brews means there’s always something new to discover, and the staff, armed with encyclopaedic knowledge of honey and apples, are more than willing to explain the science behind each sip. Locally sourced ingredients round out the operation, ensuring that every gulp feels like a love letter to the Lowcountry without sounding pretentious.
Reviewers praised Bee Town Mead And Cider for its delicious meads with unique flavor combinations, excellent customer service, and friendly owners who share their passion for the craft.
