Small-Batch · League City, TX

Ever tasted something that actually tastes like honey — before it even hits your tongue?

We started brewing mead because we got tired of choosing between wine and beer and wishing something warmer existed in between. Now we make it the old way: with real honey, patient fermentation, and zero shortcuts. Every batch is a little different. That's the point.

Our Story

We didn't set out to be a brewery. We just wanted something better than what was on the shelf.

It started the way a lot of good things do — with a jar of honey sitting on a kitchen counter and too much time on a Saturday. A friend suggested mead. We laughed. Then we tried it.

The first batch didn't win any awards. The second batch was drinkable. By the fifth, we were handing bottles to anyone who'd listen and asking if they wanted to come help us build something real.

That something real is here now. Celtic Cross Meadery sits on FM-646 in League City, and every drop we produce starts with honey sourced from Texas apiaries, water filtered on-site, and yeast strains we've spent years getting to know. We age everything longer than you'd expect. We bottle everything in-house. And we open our doors because we'd rather talk to you than sell to you.

Small batches only Every batch is tracked, tasted, and adjusted by hand
Patience as an ingredient We never rush a batch. Good mead makes its own schedule
Made for people, not labels If you can't come taste it, we haven't finished it
The Meads

What we're brewing right now

Our rotating selection changes with the seasons and whatever the honey has to say. Here's what's in the glass at the moment.

Golden Mead — pale amber liquid in a stemmed glass with a honeycomb garnish House Favorite

Golden Cross

Our signature mead. Wildflower honey from Central Texas, fermented dry to a crisp finish that still carries the flower's sweetness on the back end. Light, honeyed, and dangerously drinkable.

Dry Mead 12 months aged 14% ABV
Dark Mead — deep amber-brown mead in a tulip glass with a cinnamon stick

Ironwood

Buckwheat honey gives this one a deep, molasses-rich base. We age it in oak for extra depth — think toasted walnut, dark fruit, and a whisper of smoke. Best poured slowly on a cool evening.

Acerglyn / Oak-Aged 18 months aged 15% ABV
Blush Mead — rosy pink mead in a wine glass with fresh berries beside it Seasonal

Rose & Thyme

Orange blossom honey meets a hand-picked infusion of fresh thyme and a touch of raspberries. Floral without being sweet, herbal without being sharp. Our most surprising pour — and the one people come back for.

Methyquel / Fruit Mead 9 months aged 12% ABV
Spiced Mead — rich copper-colored mead in a snifter with star anise and orange peel

Heather & Heat

Heather honey brings a tart, almost tangy backbone that pairs surprisingly well with a slow build of cayenne and ginger. It starts smooth and finishes warm — not for the faint of heart, but perfect for winter.

Spiced Mead 14 months aged 13% ABV
Cyser — golden apple-cider mead in a pint glass with apple slices

Cyser

Half honey, half fresh-pressed Texas apple cider, fermented together until the fruit and flower notes lock into place. Bright, crisp, and easy — the kind of mead you'd drink on a porch and forget it's got backbone.

Cyser (Apple Mead) 8 months aged 11% ABV
