Eight Hooves Meadery

Nestled in the historic charm of New Bern, North Carolina, Eight Hooves Meadery is a passion project rooted in discipline, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for natural ingredients. As a veteran-owned business, we approach the ancient art of mead-making with the same dedication and attention to detail that defined our service. We believe that alcohol can be enjoyed as a mindful, healthy alternative, which is why we meticulously craft our beverages using only pure honey, aromatic herbs, soothing teas, and fresh, sun-ripened fruits. By moving away from heavily processed ingredients, we offer a drink that honors the earth and satisfies the modern palate.

While we are currently in our startup phase with eyes set on an official launch in the second quarter of 2027, our mission extends far beyond the glass. We see Eight Hooves Meadery as a gathering place for the Eastern North Carolina community—a spot where neighbors can connect, stories are exchanged, and the local spirit is celebrated. We are committed to transparency in our process and integrity in our community engagement, ensuring that every batch we produce reflects our core values. We look forward to welcoming you to our taproom soon, where we will raise a glass to shared values, quality craftsmanship, and the journey ahead.
