I spent some time in Buffalo New York and LillyBelle Meads is just outside of Buffalo in a place called Lancaster. So, one evening I decided to go out and give them a ook.

I wasn't' disappointed. It is a nice place with nice people and they are very involved in the local community. The night I visited the owners had just returned from a local event where they were given an award for best new local business.

I thought this was great on two accounts. First off it is great to see a young business get some recognition. And secondly it was really great to see a mead establishment get some recognition. Ten years ago nobody heard of mead. It is coming now into the forefront.

They are located at: 11 W. Main st. Lancaster, New York 14086

And you can check out their facebook page here: LillyBelle Mead

I tasted a flight of four of their meads and I enjoyed them all!

Let's take a look at their meads. Here is the menu.
