Honestly, it was kind of tricky locating it based on my GPS but I found it. There was no problems with parking which was great. As compared to the outside, inside was a very pleasant surprise. I loved the decor and Nordic/Viking vibes. The friendly guy behind the counter was really helpful in my decision to go with Musashi. I took a sip and thought to myself, "Ohhh Mead INDEED!". What a nice escape!! My honey-wine was a winner. To the Yelp Community at large, you're in for a swwweet treat. :-)

Sipping on a sweet & scrumptious mead has been around for centuries but not everyone knows what all the Buzz is about. Mead is an alcoholic beverage made from honey. I'm a cider and Mead kinda gal in general so this is right up my alley. Meadiorcrity specifically specializes in Mead. Nothing Mediocre about it tho!!! So many flavors to choose from. On our visit we each got a flight that includes 4 tastings. That way we could try most of what's offered on tap! I liked each taster and each one was my favorite ~~ for its own unique reason. Some had notes of mint, cardamom, and or lime. All had such complementary notes that fused beautifully together! We enjoyed sitting on a cozy couch and chilled and chatting like we were in a cozy living room space. Family friendly and they have games available to play while you are there. Outside food is welcome as well. If you have a need for Mead this is a great choice to buzzzz on by!

If ya'll didn't know, mead (aka honey wine), is a very ancient beverage made from fermented honey and water. How deeelightful is that! It makes me want to say, "Honey, it's mead time!"

A BIG THANK YOU to the owners for embracing the mediocrity and making Meadiocrity Mead something truly SPECTACULAR. I must say I do looove your mead!! And whenever I'm in need for your mead, I'll be back. Highly recommend it to the Yelp Community :-)

It's a cozy establishment where you'll meet and make new friends fairly quickly here. We did! On our most recent visit we purposefully planned a meet up with a few friends of ours. Perfect Homey and cozy place to do just that. This business hosts a fun movie night on Thursdays. Although they don't have food on this night...you are allowed to bring in outside food and snacks. Our new friends provided popcorn for all the guests to share. That was awesome! I love places that bring these things together. Nice people and great brews! No brawls but only good vibes and laughter found here! The movie really helped too. We all had a blast. We got a flight of cider and a flight of the mead. Both styles of brews were great. I learned that the honey is sourced from vista and Escondido. Their product tends to be on the drier side and the mead more semisweet than too sweet. They do have fish fry-day on Fridays and we will come back for that in the very near future! I'm a sucker for fish n chips (with malt vinegar) and food when I'm enjoying a good brew. It's another hidden gem located in the furniture store area in San Marcos. On our previous visits we took advantage of the garden-esque patio seating in the front. Looking forward to our next visit here!

Raging Cider and Mead Co. in San Marcos is the spot for mead and cider lovers! This small and…read moreintimate tasting room specializes in high-quality, small-batch mead and cider, with rotating seasonal flavors that keep things fun. From dry to semi-sweet to fruity or spiced, there's something for everyone. Standouts include their crisp hibiscus cider, traditional mead, and unique barrel-aged options. The space is small, but welcoming, with knowledgeable staff who love to share what they do. It's a great place to try authentic cider and mead. If you don't know where to begin, ask for recommendations based of your palate. They've got a dog-friendly patio, which is a huge plus, and there's plenty of parking, making it super easy to stop by. The patio is shaded and covered by passionfruit vines. There's even an apple tree too! Raging also hosts a variety of events, like trivia nights and food truck pairings, that make each visit a little different. If you're in the area (or even if you're not!), it's well worth the visit. Support a local, family-oriented business doing something unique, and doing it well! Check their hours, since they are only open Friday through Sunday.

It's a small space in sort of an industrial / commercial area, but there was enough seating for us to meet up with some friends. The owner is really knowledgeable and shared a tour of his facility.

Ragnars Evel was also great, the pyment I sampled, wow it's hard to pick a favorite. I think I will have to go back to decide! If you're a fan of mead you should definitely go out of your way to stop here. I didn't really get into the wines last time I will have to go back to sample more of those.

The person helping us was friendly and social and since there was nobody else there we just chatted. The meads were decent, and nothing really stood out to me. There wasn't too much of a variety. Overall it's a fun spot to check out, but I probably wouldn't go again.

I ordered the TV dinner with brisket, macaroni and cheese and slaw. I also ordered their lemonade, which they did not have enough of to pour me a full serving. The bartender gave me a cup with a little bit of it, and it tasted good. I ordered a sweet tea in its place and asked for lemons, but they don't have lemons. The tea came out and it was OK but seemed like it either came from concentrate or was made a couple days ago. I mixed in the bit of lemonade that I had and that was good as an Arnold Palmer. Our food came out almost immediately. My macaroni and cheese and brisket were barely warm. The macaroni and cheese had heavy Velveeta shells and cheese vibes... just OK but nothing special. The brisket had a very good flavor but was very dry. It came with barbecue sauce, but I'm not a fan of barbecue sauce so I ate it like it was. The slaw was excellent. My friend got an order of fries which were delicious, I ate a bunch of them. She also got these jalapeño peppers that were wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese and I think pulled pork.

We get 8 bottles every quarter at $220 and 15 percent off extra bottles or tastings. The past Sunday we tried their happy hour special which was 2 flights and some snacks for $59. But since we are members, it came out to $50 instead. We've had our share of meads. I would say the level of creativity is pretty high here. We had their viking mood which was stored in oak tasted like whiskey. Had their midnight which was on the highest sweet level. Also had the Valkyrie reserve which was phenomenal. But like our favorite winery as members, we are able to swap out the ones we didn't like to the ones we do. A total perk for members. Outside the place there's 2 patio tables and chairs. While Inside there are booth, tables, self serve water, instagrammable areas like their backdrop. Our host Erin was super helpful helping us, kudos to good service. We also got a recent bottle of their creme brulee mead. Highly recommended if you can get one that is. It's a little far for us, but we enjoyed batch mead.
