The Buzz Meadery is a recent addition to the Berlin, MD community since its opening in June 2020. The licensed winery focuses on crafting premium, high-quality honey mead with ingredients that are ALL locally sourced on Delmarva. Mead is a delicious alcoholic beverage that is healthier and gluten-free and The Buzz Meadery knows how to do it right!
Most of their meads are carbonated and dry session meads, compared to a more traditional still and sweeter mead. Flavors vary weekly, as fruits, veggies, and herbs are sourced directly from local farmers. With these ingredients comes a local alcohol, which allows The Buzz Meadery to be a sustainable, eco-friendly business.
About The Buzz Meadery
Brett and Megan Hines are the founders of The Buzz Meadery who live locally in Berlin. After grad school in Colorado where they were both introduced to session mead, they moved back to Maryland in 2014 and kept brewing with local ingredients, making the decision to launch their business and “create our version of the perfect mead.” Megan says, “We wanted to start our business in our own community because building up the community is really important to us.”
When it comes to community involvement, Brett and Megan are prime examples. They are young school teachers and a family that attract many other young local families and connect well with the Worcester County community around them. “We love our customers because they are our neighbors and friends,” Megan says. “We want them to have the best tasting, locally sourced alcohol they can get.”
The Buzz Meadery also led the initiative for the creation of the recent Berlin Commons! The donation-based, community green space in downtown Berlin is a lovely spot for outdoor dining and events. Stop by and you’ll often see Brett and Megan serving their delicious seasonal mead from their 200 square foot brewhouse van.
The Buzz Meadery will be back open for the 2022 season in April! Visit them at all Berlin town events, as well as at The Berlin Commons. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook to stay connected and catch all the new mead flavors they have planned for the season!
