Honey Heist Mead Company

Southern Illinois’ first and only meadery, Honey Heist Mead Co invites you to experience mead like never before—crafted with real honey, fruits, herbs, and spices in every batch. Located along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, our small-batch meads offer something for every palate.

Explore our ever-evolving lineup:
• The Accomplices – Modern style draft meads served on tap, light and refreshing. Always something new.
• The Notorious – Historically original style. Year-round still meads that anchor our lineup with familiar Midwest flavors.
• Small Time Crooks – Small batch releases that celebrate local seasonal ingredients.

Our hip, modern tasting room features custom flight boards, photo ops, and a peaceful, pet-friendly patio just steps from The Honey Hideout, our on-site vacation rental. While we don’t serve food, light snacks and drinks are available—and outside food and picnics are always welcome.

Whether you’re a true mead lover or just mead-curious, Honey Heist promises a sweet escape with a rebellious twist.

With its rich history and versatile nature, mead allows us to explore different types of honeys and innovative flavor combinations.
