“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the honey mead is incredibly smooth. It’s lightly sweet without being heavy, and the floral notes come through in a really natural way. It feels like something thoughtfully crafted, not overly processed. This has quickly become my go-to evening drink.”
“The blackberry mead surprised me with how balanced it is. The fruit flavor is rich but not syrupy, and there’s a nice tartness that keeps it refreshing. It’s the kind of drink you can enjoy slowly, and it pairs beautifully with cheese or dark chocolate. Really well done.”
“I tried both the honey and blackberry meads, and each has its own character. The honey is smooth and classic, while the blackberry brings a deeper, more vibrant flavor. Together they make a great set—perfect for sharing or for matching with different meals. I’ll definitely be ordering again.”
Keeping It Simple; Our History
Founded by a small group of friends who met working at the Maryland Renaissance Fair, Skepper Meadery began as a weekend hobby inspired by the fair’s emphasis on craftsmanship and tradition. They started experimenting with mead in a converted barn, relying on local beekeepers and nearby berry farms for their ingredients. What began as a modest attempt to recreate the simple drinks they served at the fair gradually grew into a focused, small-batch operation rooted in the same values: authenticity, community, and patience.
From the beginning, they made a deliberate decision to offer only two flavors—honey and blackberry. Keeping the lineup small allowed them to perfect each recipe and stay connected to their local suppliers without overextending. The founders believed that mead didn’t need to be complicated to be excellent, and that staying true to a few well-crafted flavors honored both the region and the traditions that inspired them. Today, the company remains committed to this simplicity, producing mead with a sense of place and purpose.
Boozy Blackberry
The blackberry session mead begins with fresh, locally harvested berries that are crushed and added directly to the fermenting wildflower-honey base. Rather than relying on concentrates or artificial flavorings, the process uses whole fruit to capture the natural balance of sweetness and tartness. The berries slowly infuse their deep color and vibrant flavor as the mead ferments, allowing the honey and fruit to meld at their own pace. After fermentation, the mead is gently clarified and aged just long enough for the blackberry notes to settle into a smooth, rounded finish that highlights the fruit without overpowering the honey beneath it.
Simple Honey
The simple honey session mead is crafted with a focus on purity and restraint, using only locally sourced wildflower honey, water, and yeast. By keeping the recipe simple, the natural character of the honey is allowed to shine through—soft floral notes, a touch of sweetness, and a clean, lingering finish. The fermentation is done slowly and at controlled temperatures to preserve the delicate aromatics, with no added spices or flavorings to distract from the core ingredients. Once clarified and rested, the result is a straightforward, honest mead that highlights the richness of the honey itself.
