It’s about time alcohol had a conscience.

We’re making a new kind of session mead that’s as good for the planet as it is for your buzz. Think sustainable beekeeping, 3.5 acres (and counting) of pollinator paradise, low-heat honey magic, minimal sulfites, and a brewing process that sips water, not guzzles it. We're not just talking sustainability—we're doing it.

Drink Clean. Feel Better. Do Good.

Q&A: Why The Hive Taproom Introduced Swaggle

Q&A: Why The Hive Taproom Introduced Swaggle

🎉 Big news: The Hive Taproom has a new name—say hello to Swaggle!

Don’t panic—it’s the same people, same bees, same crisp, honey-based drinks you already love. We just decided it was time for a name that struts a little more when it walks into the room.

So… what does Swaggle mean? It’s the rhythm of life, the swing in your step, that laugh that bubbles up when you’re surrounded by good friends. And yes—it’s also inspired by the honeybee’s waggle dance, the move they bust out to share where the sweetest nectar can be found. If bees dance for food and drink, we figured we should Swaggle to celebrate the best drink.

✨ Same better buzz. Fresh new vibe. Ready to Swaggle with us?

The Power of Clean Ingredients

The Power of Clean Ingredients

Growing up, I was the kid with the “weird” food. My house didn’t have candy. We didn’t drink pop. No vanilla wafers, no fig newtons. My lunchbox never contained Lunchables, and my friends rarely wanted to trade for the tuna or egg salad sandwiches I brought to school...
