Local Honey & Mead Tastings

 

Date & time:

  • Monday, July 29 – 5:00pm to 8:00pm

Cost:
Free; must be 21 years old to participate.

No Registration required.

Event details:
Join us in downtown Auburn for tastings of different types of local honey and mead (a fermented alcoholic honey drink with ancient roots). Products will be available to purchase.

For more information, email beegoodmeadery@gmail.com or call (260)233-2100.

Cupka’s Bee Good Meadery
Candy has lived in Auburn, Indiana her entire life. Tom moved from southern Indiana in 1995, where he had grown up on a Strawberry U-Pick Farm. Together they raised three children here and have been devoted to both their family and their community. Tom Cupka is a local pastor, with degrees in business and theology. Candy Cupka is an accountant and AVP with a successful career background in accounting and finance. In 2016, Tom and Candy made their first six gallons of wine and caught the artisan bug. 

Just as fermented grapes gets you wine, and fermented hops gets you beer, fermented honey gets you a sweet, tasty batch of mead! Mead is a drink created by fermenting honey and water, often with added fruits, spices, grains or hops as chosen by the artisan. The alcohol content ranges from 8% to 16% (sometimes higher). The beverage can be sparkling, carbonated, or still and tailored to be dry, semi-sweet, or sweet. Mead is the oldest alcoholic beverage known to humanity, older than even wine or beer.

We offer carbonated craft meads on tap and bottled artisan still wines to try to meet the preference of every customer, including honey wine slushies and flights. In the tasting room you will find a relaxed atmosphere, delicious appetizers, and a friendly staff. Cupka's Bee Good Meadery, in keeping with its name, allows its patrons to suggest local nonprofits for the meadery to allocate funds to.

We sell local honey, as well as jams and jellies from our berries. Pre-picked and bulk blackberries are available for bakeries, or wine and beer making. Four hundred pounds of blackberries can be picked per day throughout our 2.5 acres of trellised blackberry plants!

We are generally open June 1st through mid-August although this changes from year to year. Follow us on Facebook or give us a call to make sure berries are available. 

Berry picking is a great family activity and we love to have children come and see how food is grown.  We offer shaded picnic tables for your convenience so bring a picnic and make it a fun family tradition!​

In the off-season, we carry frozen berries so your taste buds can be satisfied all year long.
