Bee Well Mead & Cider's North Cider

Bottoms Up
Jan. 13, 2024

Tucked in a cozy storefront in Bellaire is Bee Well Mead & Cider. The meadery has been churning out sweet, dry, and sometimes even spicy beverages (looking at you, Ghost Cider, with your Scotch bonnet, habanero, Carolina Reaper, and ghost peppers!) since 2014. In the last 10 years, they’ve honed in on their flagship line of drinks, and that’s why we are paying homage to the North Cider. This cider is drinkable in any season, with just the right mix of tartness, apple-forward flavor, and crisp bite to please any palate. As Bee Well claims, it is “a true representation of our northern Michigan region.” Pick up a 4-pack of cans at dozens of locations across the North, or pop into the tasting room at 116 N. Bridge Street in Bellaire for a fresh draft pour. beewellmeadery.com
