About Us

---

Welcome to Thorin's Mead! We specialize in traditional meads using a recipe that has been in his family since the 900s. Each of our meads is carefully crafted to be the best of the best. There are no syrups or dyes. Only honey, and fruit concentrates for our specialty flavors.

Our official business started in 2010, but Thorin has been brewing mead for much, much longer. After fighting and winning against cancer, he decided it was time to pursue his dream of making good meads and educating blossoming mead makers on good procedure for success.

We're often trying new flavors, and in our process, we have some of each batch left over. Rather than waste it, we've been holding it back in a sealed tank to be saved for what we can age. This what we've come to call Odin's Share. It's his share of the Mead of Poetry that he stole from the giants to bring back to Asgard. 

Do you have a tasting room?

We do not have an official tasting room. 

We focus mainly on production, and as a small business, we don't have the extra time to fully manage a tasting room. 

We do welcome visitors by appointment!

Can I come by and buy products directly?

Absolutely, also by appointment. The property that we're located is a gated high fence game ranch so the gate is never open. 

Does mead go bad?

Just like wine, if the seal is broken, it can spoil. If it's kept in a temperature controlled environment, it will last until opened. 

We pasteurize all our products, so heat isn't an issue with our meads.

I've found a bad bottle, what can I do?

We're so sorry! We will replace your bottle ourselves. 

We invite you to come to the winery and take your pick of replacement, and if that's not an option, we will ship you a bottle at no cost. 

We will ask that you let us know where you bought your bottle so we can talk to that store. 

I'd like your products in our store/bar. Who do I contact?

Our distributor is Favorite Brands, and  L&F Distributors, which gets our reach all across Texas. Their main office is in McAllen and can be reached at  972-943-0263 

I had one of your special flavors are Texas Renaissance Festival. Where can I get more!?

Sadly, the flavors at Texas Renaissance festival are done by contract and are only available there, Dark Valkyrie and Crimson can be found at The Tap, shop 162. 

Will you ever do (insert flavor here)?

Since we do not use dyes or syrups, our selection of flavors will depend on how certain flavors can handle being fermented. 

Strawberry holds up as a flavor for example, but it isn't red when it's done. It turns brown from fermentation. No wants to drink a brown mead.
