Review:

This charming and rustic meadery is located in Newcastle, Maine, near Damariscotta Lake. The Fat Friar's Meadery has a list of products that range from traditional mead—The Fat Friar’s Mead—to more experimental flavors that incorporate things like cherries, citrus, spices, and even chili peppers. To find The Fat Friar’s Meadery, visitors will have to keep an eye out for a small, rustic sign and drive down a long driveway into the woods to the meadery. This might seem like a lot of work, but the result is definitely worth it. The Fat Friar’s Meadery has a tasting room that is open Friday through Sunday from 12pm to 5:30pm, and visitors can call ahead for appointments on other days or times.
