He suggested one or two of the meads that we would like and got a couple of glasses to drink while chatting. The place is so spacious but a little on the cold side. I'm sure when there are more people it warms up quite a bit since it's a warehouse like location. They have games you can play with your group and since they do not really sell food besides a few bags of chips you can bring your own food to eat as long as you clean up after yourselves. Also the place is dog friendly as well.

It was a quiet Thursday afternoon, it did get busy closer towards afterwork hours but we got a flight and enjoyed the Blackberry and Odinsdagr a lot. The decor is really great here too. Lots of board games, would be a great time to bring friends/family here for a game time with some delicious mead. A very fun spot if you want to try out mead, learn more or know you love mead! Our flight sampler: - Apple Mead - Cherry Mead - Blackberry - Oak Barrel - Odinsdagr - Viking Blod

Wow! Having tried…read moremead quite a few times, I've never acquired the taste. Hierophant has completely changed my mind with their elevated versions of this ancient craft. Refreshing flavors that are subtle and well balanced, with varying levels of alcohol. Although I haven't tried all of their 20+ varieties, the ones I've tried were fantastic. If you like the traditional taste of a heavy and earthy mead, Hierophant may be something new to you as well. Great service from the friendly staff in a casual, yet upscale tasting room makes for a very relaxing visit. And there's plenty of parking. I'll be a regular when I'm on island visiting my son and his family. Thank you Hierophant for creating a new and delightful epicurean experience.

Tiny mead bar tucked in a basement along the mercantile strip of Fremont. The decor is bee themed…read moreand pretty trippy (in a good way). It's a very small space: a couple tables inside, a couple bar seats, and a couple more tables outside in the area between buildings. They serve 1oz sample flights (in addition to full pours) which are perfect for exploring the options. They have a list of 15-20 meads ranging from dry to extremely sweet. The bartenders are all really friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They do sell bottles here, and I believe there's a small discount on it you also got a flight.

Super fun, kind of hidden, cute spot!…read more I've always seen the sign but never came in until this past week with a few friends! This was my first time trying mead and I really liked a lot of them! The bubbly ones on tap were lighter and really yummy! I definitely like sweeter drinks, so the dessert ones (black magic and isilu shadow) were high on my list. They had lots of flavors with most of them being fruity. There are a few options for flights, and the choice to try every single flavor! The actual indoor area was pretty small, with only enough room for the bar, one table for 6 and a little bar top seat, and the bathroom. Because of the size, the bathroom is literally 2 feet away from the table and is inside a sliding door that does not fully seal shut. It was decently loud inside with the music playing but definitely not the place to go if you need privacy in the bathroom. They had another couple tables (2/3?) outside but it's tucked in a narrow alley so it was pretty tight out there as well. There is a stack of games to play inside and it has great decor! Overall, the drinks, vibes, and service were great! We had 7 people and completely filled the inside of the shop, so I would recommend a smaller group. The shop is down a narrow set of stairs between 2 building and another few stairs from the door down to the bar. I'm not sure if there is another entrance, so I believe this would be inaccessible for someone who was unable to use stairs. 4/5! Would definitely come here again and recommend to someone who wants to try something new! Very hidden spot type place!

So I get to this place and unfortunately they were out of the classic so I went with his plum wine. It was great! But definitely still a bit tart to be considered perfect for me. Kind of a smaller bottle for the price but considering it's the best mead I've had I'm willing to pay it. I'll definitely be back to try the original honey mead! All and all I'm a happy customer.

He has an awesome variety of flavors (definitely some unique ones!). I also love that he sources just about everything (as much as he can) locally. Even for his t-shirts he is using a local company! Absolutely top-tier mead. Erik is a super nice guy, who loves what he does and does an amazing job. So glad to have found Aesir! Definitely recommend trying it, even if you don't know if or think you don't like mead, give his a try.

I first stumbled across mead from Axis at a taphouse in Yelm. Feeling excited to try something new…read moreI bought a bottle of their Death Metal Guys mead. But before I broke out that mead a trip to the Olympia area was already in the works so I figured I'd go to their taproom in Lacey. I was quite impressed with the mead here! The first mead I had was the Pink Bike Helmet mead. This had a great blending of pear and apple and of course honey. The balance was well handled and I enjoyed it. But the mead that I liked best, even after I broke open the Death Metal Guys bottle on Thanksgiving was their Hatch Chili Mead. Oh, man! I'm very partial to hatch chilis in the first place but the fact that I came across a pepper mead was just wonderful! It had a nice heated kick to it with the smoothness of the honey that followed. A fantastic mead and one I'd definitely seek out again. Then like I said I broke out the Death Metal Guys over the Thanksgiving holiday. This was a syrupy, blackberry mead with a boozy flair to it. It was good too and perfect for the holiday! But my mind will always drift back to that Hatch Chili Mead. Just writing this review makes me want to plan another trip down to their taproom so I can have another glass!

He has a very informative sheet on his front door that is the most effective way of communicating his location that I have ever seen. He was in his brewery when we arrived and met his beautiful friendly dogs. I called ahead to purchase some mead and wine. He went the extra mile and gave my partner and I a tasting. Insisting you have to know you like the product before buying. I really appreciated that as I struggle finding alcohol I enjoy. All of it was delicious and talking to him was a delight. He's very knowledgeable about his craft and is quite good at it. We ended up purchasing a blueberry mead, cherry mead, and lemon wine. He managed to capture the flavors of his ingredients while keeping a lovely and light beverage that I can't wait to serve at my upcoming party. This is definitely a place to come and check out. As he does so much aside from brewing you'll find something for the whole family! All while enjoying the lovely grounds that he maintains. I can't wait to return in a month when his cranberry wine is finally done!!! I'll post pictures when I go back. As everything was so wonderful and beautiful I forgot to take my phone out.
