St. Ambrose Cellars’ Rhythm & Blues

Bottoms Up

Oct. 14, 2023

Nestled in the heart of Beulah in Benzie County, St. Ambrose Cellars has been making amazing things with a little help from their bees for more than a decade. From honey to mead to spicy pizzas, this one-stop shop is definitely buzzing. On our latest visit, we sampled the Rhythm & Blues mead, packed with the summery flavors of blueberry and black currant. The tartness of the berries brings out the rich, sweet honey of the mead, and the 6.5 percent ABV is just right for a second round. Plus, the grounds of St. Ambrose are positively lit up with fall color right now, so we recommend getting over there well before the leaves fall. Enjoy a glass at the picturesque tasting room at 841 S. Pioneer Rd in Beulah ($6), put it in a flight ($13 for four pours), or take home a four-pack ($16). stambrose-mead-wine.com
