"After years of homebrewing, Chairman of the Mead David Myers founded Redstone Meadery in 2001 with his flagship Black Raspberry Nectar. The business quickly grew to add several new flavors, becoming a local favorite. In 2003, Redstone Meadery brought the International Mead Festival (now known as the Mazer Cup) to Boulder, Colorado. Since Redstone opened for business it has become one of the leaders in the industry. Over the years, Redstone has innovated by bringing draft mead to the market and has won numerous awards. Our meads are some of the most widely distributed in the nation. Redstone's philosophy has always been one of all-natural, balanced meads, using only high-quality honey with real fruits and spices. In keeping with the 'natural' approach, Redstone does not add any sulfites, a known allergen, as honey is its own natural preservative. Redstone only pasteurizes the must (unfermented mead) and never boils. We strive to feature the flavors of the honey as much as possible."
