Very down-to-watch/approachable and willing to do whatever they could to ensure our event was a success! Their meade is delicious and comes in a variety of flavors, yet all presented in a way that doesn't detract from meade's unique qualities. I highly recommend stopping by their tasting room in Bethlehem for a one-of-a-kind experience!

I would have appreciated a little bit of a heavier bodied mead but since they are GF, I can understand their lines. Huge variety of meads to try, bottles to buy and a wide variety of them on tap for flights. They have different styles of flights. Our server was really knowledgable and helped make the experience better. They have a yearly club that has some cool perks like a custom drinking horn and a free tasting of every new mead the make.

However, today I was excited to find the Rebel Hive Meadery while browsing in the Fairgrounds Farmers Market! This was the first weekend they were open for business. Mike and Ryan were informative, helpful and welcoming. Ryan poured samples of their meads for tasting. I'm not going to attempt a mead review, as I'm inexperienced and was focused on simply tasting their basic mead, called "It's Not You, It's Mead". It was positively delicious! With my best French accent... "It was bright with hints of Concord grapes!". Haha, actually they assured me that there are no grapes in this mead! It is so special to have discovered Rebel Hive Meadery. I encourage you to try them out!

Tucked away on Broadway, this cozy little tasting room is a hidden gem that's well worth seeking out. The atmosphere has a fun medieval feel that perfectly matches the history behind mead, one of the world's oldest alcoholic beverages. Whether you're already a mead fan or trying it for the first time, the staff makes the experience enjoyable and educational. They happily explain the different styles, from traditional honey meads to fruit-infused varieties, and offer complimentary tastings so you can discover what suits your palate best. Their meads are crafted with Pennsylvania honey and local ingredients, making each pour feel like a true taste of the region. I also appreciated that they offer wines in addition to their meads, so there's something for everyone. There was a great selection ranging from dry to sweet, making it easy to find a favorite. I ended up leaving with a bottle to enjoy at home because the tasting made it impossible not to! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable without ever making you feel rushed. They took the time to answer questions and made the tasting feel personal rather than just another stop along Broadway. Stonekeep is one of those unique places that adds to the charm of Jim Thorpe. Whether you're spending the day shopping, exploring the historic town, or just looking for a relaxing tasting experience, this is definitely a stop I'd recommend. I'll absolutely be back on my next visit!

The indoors is dog friendly and they also have an outdoor tent if you order to be outside. The owners pup is onsite and so cute!

A GF sent me a TikTok reel of the Brewery since she has celiac & I have a GF intolerance. My husband & I enjoyed both of our flights we got.

Wow. This place is incredible. Looks like a typical NJ brewery both inside and out (located in an…read moreindustrial park with the usual exposed beam ceiling and concrete floors inside) but plot twist: they only brew ciders and meads. No beer. But the ciders and meads are phenomenal. My girlfriend and I stopped in yesterday on a Saturday afternoon, which was our first time there. We each tried a cider flight and a mead flight and loved everything. Definite standouts for me were the Mother Muse and Tulsi (both had a nice mix of sweet fruit taste with a hint of herbs like rosemary and basil) and the Ayamarcay with its decadent peanut/chocolate flavor. The story of how this place came to be is just as incredible. Founding member Christian Annese was misdiagnosed many years ago with Celiac, which led him to the world of ciders and meads. At the time, NJ laws made it incredibly difficult to brew quality cider, and mead was effectively illegal. So Christian and his partners worked tirelessly with NJ legislators to change the law, and in 2020 Armageddon opened for business. Highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be back!

I've enjoyed visits to both their Fleetwood and Jim Thorpe tasting rooms. I really dig the medieval vibe. It makes both locations feel unique, and not quite like your typical tasting room experience. This is the type of place you would bring someone if they were visiting from out of town and we're looking for something off the beaten path. While Stonekeep produces both wine and mead, it is the latter which truly stands out. My favorite selections are the Red Raspberry Melomel and the Blue Muninn. Both offerings are absolutely delicious, and an excellent way to introduce someone to mead who may not be familiar with the drink. Both are excellent on their own, but really hit a whole new level when paired with chocolate. Consider busting out these meads for your after dinner course when entertaining at home. Or, if you're by yourself, feel free to pour yourself a glass and sit in front of the fireplace.
