AboutHumblebee Meadery
Humblebee Meadery began with Vancouver friends Jeff Gillham and Pierre Vacheresse, who met while working in the restaurant industry in 2009. Gillham’s experiments with old mead recipes gradually shifted toward the lighter, more aromatic character he enjoyed in craft beer and cider, and the pair turned that idea into a business plan in 2015. They found a small production space in East Vancouver and received approval to sell their mead in 2016.
The sparkling meads are made with Canadian honey and flavoured with ingredients such as herbs, fruit and tea.
Humblebee It’s Business Time Hibiscus & Lavender Mead – Single
Canadian Mead
$3.99
Tangy and floral, with vivid hibiscus bringing red-fruit brightness and lavender adding a soft, aromatic lift. The palate stays lively and refreshing, balancing its botanical perfume with a clean, dry finish. Serve thoroughly chilled with duck confit, fish tacos, goat cheese or crème brûlée; the combination of fresh acidity and gentle florals is equally comfortable beside savoury spice or restrained sweetness.
Humblebee Brannigan’s Law Mead – Single
Canadian Mead
$3.49
Bright and distinctly herbal, combining the citrus-like tang of sumac with the fresh, savoury lift of cilantro. Light sweetness and lively effervescence keep the unusual aromatics composed, finishing clean, dry-leaning and gently spicy. Serve well chilled with grilled corn, fish tacos, herbed goat cheese or a punchy grain salad; the fresh acidity and green notes work especially well with citrus, herbs and mild heat.
