Queen's Reward Meadery

Queen's Reward Meadery
Queen's Reward Meadery -

Queen’s Reward Meadery, Mississippi’s first Meadery, is a small-batch Meadery that produces a wide variety of meads from traditional dry and sweet to fruit-flavored meads including cranberry, pinot and lemonade. Mead is an alcoholic drink made from fermenting honey, yeast and water. All the honey used in Queen’s Reward meads are locally-sourced from beekeepers that take as much pride in their craft as these mead makers do in making world class mead with a sip of southern hospitality. To compliment your choice of mead, be sure to order a charcuterie board.
