We will offer a sessionable version of mead, an ancient alcohol drink made from fermented honey. Our mead will be under 7% ABV.

The flavor profile ranges vary and that’s what is so amazing about using honey as a fermentation base!

Our mead is going to feel more like a cider, than wine and is very light and drinkable. It won't have the malty, bready feel of beer, nor the gluten.

Crafting Session Mead in Choice City!

We're a new taproom serving up a tasty, sessionable version of mead, an ancient alcohol fermented from honey. We're on track to start making mead onsite and open our taproom in Old Town Fort Collins later this year.

Mead is humanity's oldest alcoholic beverage once thought to be a drink of the gods, and Lost Scout Mead is a pioneer on a quest to discover its ancient secrets. From the canyons of Utah to the plains of North Dakota and the Colorado Front Range, we've traveled far and wide in search of the best ingredients and methods to craft our own truly timeless recipes. We’re excited to bring that taste of adventure to you.

What is Session Mead?

Our session mead is made to be a lower ABV than traditional mead - generally under 7% which is comparable to most beer and cider.

We add fruits and herbs in our flavored meads, but also have some excellent meads that are unflavored; allowing us to highlight specific varieties of honey. While some of our meads are sweet, others are dry and herbal. It's amazing how using honey as a fermentation base allows for such a vast range of flavor profiles!

Our refreshing and drinkable session mead feels more like a cider than wine. It is made using honey sourced directly from local beekeepers and honey suppliers!

Why we chose Fort Collins

We planned on opening a taproom in North Dakota, and it wasn't the right market for a craft beverage like mead. We looked at a few different places to relocate, including Seattle and Portland; but ultimately chose Fort Collins. We're very happy with our choice! Not only is there an amazing craft scene here, but people are super collaborative and helpful.

We are so fortunate to have this opportunity to add to the world-class craft beverage scene in this incredible community. We love it here and have been really enjoying the outdoors, not to mention all of the great breweries, food, and things to do. It’s a true honor to bring session mead to Fort Collins!

When are you opening?

We'll be opening in late 2019. We are renovating a space at 251 Jefferson as our taproom and another space on Lincoln as our production space. Between retrofitting two spaces plus just all the permitting and regulatory hoops to jump through that come with producing and selling alcohol, there’s a lot to do!

In the meantime, playing around with non-alcoholic offerings like honey soda, and finding other ways to get involved in the community.
