While the Centennial State is known for its craft beer scene, Michael Fagan has eyes only for the honey-derived beverage. He founded Honnibrook Meadery in Castle Rock five years ago with DJ Kurtz, when there were only about 10 meaderies in the state.
Fagan said Honnibrook has become a destination place where people can learn about “the oldest beverage known to man,” and he wanted a second location that would reach more people than the Castle Rock warehouse space. Before Honnibrook, Fagan and Kurtz planned to open a brewery. But while taking business classes, Fagan said, they started experimenting with mead and, after getting good feedback from classmates, changed course.
Fagan described Honnibrook’s mead as heavier than craft beer, but lighter than wine. The result is a less sweet mead with a 6.2-percent alcohol content. The meadery now has about 90 mead recipes, the most popular being the peach habanero mead. “I think the thing that surprises a lot of people is it’s the most sustainable beverage known to man,” he said. “Honey just happens, you don’t have to farm it, you don’t have to water it. It’s a byproduct of agriculture.”
