The tasting room is the heart of the experience, where guests sample a rotating selection of meads ranging from dry to sweet, traditional to fruit-infused.

Staff walk you through the differences between mead styles, so you're not just drinking, you're actually learning something. It's a casual, guided experience rather than a formal sit-down tasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is mead and how is it different from wine?
Mead is made from fermented honey and water rather than grapes, giving it a distinct flavor profile that can range from sweet to bone dry. It's one of the oldest fermented beverages in history, but Beach Bee puts a modern Jersey Shore spin on their recipes.
Do I need a reservation to visit the tasting room?
Walk-ins are generally welcome, though calling ahead during busy summer weekends is a smart move. The tasting room can fill up quickly when the Shore is packed with visitors.
Can I bring kids or is it adults only?
The tasting room serves alcohol, so policies on minors can vary. It's best to call (732) 403-3558 ahead of your visit to confirm their current policy on guests under 21.
What kinds of ciders do they offer?
The cidery side typically features hard apple ciders, sometimes with fruit additions or seasonal twists. The lineup rotates, so there's usually something new to try even if you've visited before.
Can I buy bottles to take home?
Yes, retail bottles are available for purchase directly from the tasting room. It's a great way to bring a unique Jersey Shore souvenir home, especially something you won't find at a typical liquor store.
Is the tasting room a good spot for a date or small group outing?
Absolutely. The casual, interesting setting makes it a great conversation starter, and trying something as unique as mead together is genuinely fun. Small groups tend to enjoy the guided tasting format since everyone can compare notes on what they're sampling.
