About Us

At Hiveworks, we craft exceptional meads for the modern age, offering a refreshing, flavorful alternative to beer. As history’s oldest alcoholic beverage, mead has stood the test of time, and we’re bringing it into the future. Naturally gluten-free, with zero sugar, low carbohydrates, and no sulfites, our mead is as pure as it is delicious. It’s also one of the most sustainable alcoholic beverages—supporting vital crop pollinators while requiring minimal water, land, and energy to produce.

Hiveworks Mead Company was born from a passion for fermentation. Head mead maker and CEO Alexander's fascination with mead, combined with a desire to innovate, led him to craft unique flavors like Chai Spice, Orange Vanilla, Fresh Peach, and Sparkling Kiwi. His struggle with gluten intolerance further inspired the journey, steering him toward session meads—a lighter, carbonated, lower-alcohol take on the classic drink. The overwhelmingly positive response from friends and family encouraged Alexander to share his creations with a wider audience, leading to the founding of Hiveworks Mead Company.

Today, Hiveworks operates a small production facility in Rohnert Park, bringing high-quality session meads to Sonoma County and beyond. At Hiveworks, we believe in more than just making great mead—we’re here to spread joy, build connections, and bring people together, one glass at a time.
