Handcrafted mead and artisan baked goods, forged in the tradition of Norse brewing. Every batch tells a story written in honey, fire, and time.
Viking Cock Mead wasn't born in a boardroom — it was born in a kitchen, with a pot of honey, a curiosity about ancient recipes, and a stubborn refusal to accept that mead couldn't be made here, in the heart of upstate New York.
We draw from over 3,000 years of mead-making history, blending techniques from the sagas with the terroir of the Southern Tier. Our honey comes from local apiaries. Our water runs clean from the region. And our baked goods? They're crafted to complement every pour.
From dry, crisp meads to rich, honey-forward blends — paired with freshly baked goods made to elevate every sip.
Our flagship mead — a harmonious blend of wildflower honey and clean water, aged to a smooth, golden finish with notes of apricot and beeswax.
Bold and full-bodied, made with buckwheat honey and a longer fermentation. Deep flavors of molasses, dark fruit, and a warming finish.
Bright, effervescent, and refreshingly dry. Infused with local citrus and a hint of vanilla — perfect for warm evenings on the porch.
Locally sourced honey swirled into a dense, crusty artisan loaf.
Buttery scones brushed with our signature mead glaze and sea salt.
Melt-in-your-mouth shortbread studded with real honeycomb pieces.
Rosemary focaccia brushed with reduced mead and roasted garlic.
Every bottle of Viking Cock Mead follows a path shaped by patience, precision, and respect for the craft.
We partner with local apiaries across the Southern Tier, selecting raw, unprocessed honey that captures the season's character.
Honey meets spring water, then the magic happens — botanicals, fruits, or spices are added to shape each unique profile.
Time does the rest. Our meads ferment slowly and age in food-grade vessels, developing depth and complexity.
Each batch is hand-labeled and bottled. Then it's ready — to share, to savor, to remember.
Our meadery and bakery sit on Strops Road in Waverly — a place where you can sample our latest batches, browse fresh baked goods, and soak in the atmosphere of a working craft operation.
