Drinking Horn Mead Hall
Best Meadery in Flagstaff · AZ
Flagstaff’s mead hall.
Drinking Horn Meadery was born in the pines of Flagstaff in 2014, when Kelly Czarnecki and Evan Anderson brewed thirty gallons of honey mead for their own wedding — and the wedding party drank every drop, barely touching the beer. Evan, a fish biologist whose family had always kept bees, took the hint. Six months after opening, Guy Fieri’s Guy’s Family Road Trip filmed them for its very first episode.
Everything is fermented simply: local Flagstaff honey from Mountain Top Honey, and never any sulfites or preservatives. In April 2020 they opened the Mead Hall on Historic Route 66 — a Norse-style gathering place of timber beams, fur-draped chairs, a stone fireplace, and drinking horns, where flights of small-batch mead are poured beneath mason-jar chandeliers.
