        Exclusive Barrel-Aged Mead Membership

      • [Join the Year:04 Wait List]

        This sold-out membership is currently in the renewing phase.

        If any spots become available, they will be offered to the wait list first.

        Wait List emails go out Mid-August.

        Membership starts Sept 1, 2026

        There's even a free, all inclusive, appreciation party in June, as our way of saying thank you!

        Barrel-aged Meads

        You've had our Endless meads; their big, bold, fruity, waterless meads that are the truest expression of the fruit and honey we can imagine....but unless you were a member, you probably haven't had our Barrel-Aged Endless meads!
        We take the best meads we can make, put them in amazing barrels, and then finish them off with extravagant treatments, just for our members!

          • Member Bottles are exclusive and will never be sold to the public.
          • Note: The barrel-aged meads are aged during the membership period, and we sample the meads periodically to determine when they have reached the point where the barrel has imparted the best character. Not long enough, and it doesnt reach its full potential, too long and the fruit character starts to degrade. Due to this process, the release schedule for bottles is not known in advance, but ALL bottles will be released during the 1-year membership peiod.
        • First dibs on all non-member bottle releases
          • Members will always have the chance to purchase bottles before the public release

        Year::03 Feedback Highlight

        "I have been in many member clubs and they all sounded excellent. However, 99% of them extremely over promised and under delivered. In fact yours is the only one that has overachieved every year. Your dedication and attention to detail and the concern for your members has been outstanding. It has been a please growing with you. Cheers"
