Meads

Creole Queen

A traditional mead with nothing but honey from the prairies of Vermillion Parish, Louisiana. The bees pollinated mostly wildflowers including the ubiquitous chicken tree (Chinese Tallow) and golden rod.

Dry - 12% alc/vol

Ozark Beauty

Dry - 12% alc/vol

A simple mead with three basic ingredients: water, yeast, honey yet sophisticatedly complex in flavor. This mead is made from honey from Ozark Mountains of northern Arkansas. These happy ladies harvested nectar and pollen from beautiful mountain landscapes rather than monocrop fields.

Sunflower Delight

Dry - 12% alc/vol

A traditional bone dry mead made from nectar from wildflowers, soybean and clover. This honey made from bees living in southeastern Kansas helped to make a refreshing beverage with a clean, crisp finish.

Kanza Cyser

Dry - 9.5% alc/vol

A cyser is a mead fermented from apple juice rather than water.  Sweet and bittersweet apples from Kansas, Missouri, and New York orchards were pressed and mixed with Kansas wildflower honey to make this crisp, dry mead.

Lavender Love

Sweet - 12% alc/vol - 5° Brix

This is a summery, light mead with a sweet floral finish.  Lavender Love is made with and sweetened with Kansas wildflower honey.  It should be enjoyed chilled, consumed with friends, and paired with rice dishes like jambalaya, chicken risotto, or arroz con pollo.

Mass Memories

Sweet - 12% alc/vol - 9° Brix

Mass Memories is an homage to the owner's home state, Massachusetts.  It is made from cranberry blossom honey collected from Nantucket Island and sweetened with Massachusetts dark amber maple syrup from the Berkshire Mountains.  It should be enjoyed chilled and allow yourself to be transported to the breezy shores of Cape Cod.

MEADERY

Zydeco Meadery is produced at 456 Wineries, a wine incubator, located on the campus of Highland Community College (HCC).  The purpose of HCC's wine incubator is "help wineries begin operations, build clientele and inventory, and then eventually move on to become stand-alone wineries".
