Mead Hall in St. Charles offers unique versions of an ancient beverage
The honey-based beverage is possibly the oldest fermented drink in history
Mead Hall, the newest outpost of owner and veteran homebrewer Mike Fuson, specializes in – you guessed it – mead. With roots that may date back to Africa over 20,000 years ago, the honey-based beverage is possibly the oldest fermented drink in history.
Fuson’s clean, not-too-sweet meads are perfumed with wonderful things such as raspberries and blackberries, orange blossom, cherry and chipotle. Ordering a flight is a must, specifically the samplers of their beautifully unique whiskey and port-barrel-aged meads.
The 3,000-square-foot tasting room’s decor is clean and simple with communal seating at heavy wood tables, string lights glowing overhead and a bold, bright mural featuring their bear mascot warming up the space.
