Black Rabbit Mead Company was founded by two local high school teachers, Jake and Will. They discovered a love for mead when they met another teacher, Al from Al's Bees. He offered to give them some honey and a mead making kit, if they’d split the bottles. After years of tinkering and 'perfecting' their meads, they decided to go pro and to build Nevada's first meadery!
Our style of mead is only being made by a handful of company’s in the world. Mead traditionally is served like a sweet wine, but this newer and drier cider-style mead is quickly growing in popularity. Black Rabbit Mead Co. also prides itself on being a celebration of the mountain life that is unique to the Sierra Nevadas. All of our honey is sourced from the mountains and foothills that surround us, and we show our love for the outdoor activities that allow us to explore and protect this special place in the world.
