Head Viking Rich, definitely has a unique talent and special skill set. He's not only mastered his craft but he's very passionate about it to go along with the personality to connect with everyone that's walks through the door.
It's nice that the owner (Rich, 2nd in charge to the wonderful wife as we would expect) goes out of his way to approach every customer and make every effort in making you feel like you're at home and comfortable.
It's a pleasant feeling to talk with and understand Diana's (Truly runs the show and keeps Rich in check because nobody else can) mindset and overall passion of the business.
It's a very impressive gift that Sue (Shes simply awesomeness) has to be able to remember all the little details about the customer to make them feel important and very special.
This is a unique atmosphere that fits their style. It's definitely a must to stop in and experience the craft, atmosphere, and the 3 stooges personalities. You won't regret it!!

Read moreThis would be one of the few places I was impressed enough with to leave a five star review. The owners were both wonderful people who take such pride in their work and truly engage their customers. The atmosphere was fun and engaged my nerdy side with subtle harry potter, skyrim and lovecraft references. Beautiful artworks on the meade which is par none. Ive been to world famous meaderies such as bunratty castle and so far ironstones eldergods and blood of odin stand tiers above the rest. The staff allows for sampling and has fun promotions if you spend a certain amount (at least while we were there) and adds a personal touch. They support alot of other local businesses and use the old world style of brewing meade. All in all I give them a 5 only because 6 is...
