The Ferm Meadery Tasting room is Closing

After five wonderful years, The FERM tasting room will be closing, Our final day of service will be June 27, 2026.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who has visited, shared a glass with friends, attended events, and supported us over the years. What began as a family dream grew into a place where countless memories were made, and we're incredibly grateful to have been part of this community.

While The FERM tasting room is closing, RenMead is not going away. As we look to the future, our focus will be on growing our presence at the Mead Hall during the Texas Renaissance Festival and continuing to bring great mead to our customers throughout Texas.

You can still purchase our mead online through our RenMead website, https://renmead.com/shop-our-mead for Texas shipping, and we'll continue sharing updates on new releases, events, and festival appearances.

We hope you'll stop by and raise one last glass with us before June 27.

Thank you for five amazing years.

— The RenMead Team

Who are we?

The Ferm: Short for fermentation because that is what we do! We ferment! We are also surrounded by law firms so yeah, a little word-play on our friendly neighbors!

What is Mead anyhow?

Simply put, mead is honey wine. Honey and water fermented with yeast.

It sounds simple however it can make many transformations with the addition of fruits, spices or hops just to name a few.

Depending on the style, you can drink it like a beer or sip it like a wine. It's up to you and your taste buds!

What we're serving...

Standard strength between 12-14%

Session strength between 5-7% - Carbonated on tap

From dry to sweet, barrel aged, spiced or full fruit forward flavors, we do them all.

We hope to see you soon! We think you'll love it!!!

Meet the Makers!

Mike and Cathy Rape:

Entrepreneurs, lovers of life and people.

God has blessed us with the life we have and we will live it to its fullest potential and to His glory!

We love to travel, hike, fish, hunt, scuba dive, ride motorcycles, make wine, mead and whatever else Cathy will agree to!!!!

Cathy Rape:

Full time yet nearly retired mother of 3, educator, strong as an ox and just as stubborn, book nerd and the only one with any sanity in the house. RN is her "real" career however she spends most of her time talking Mike off the ledge of another crazy idea, or hobby or business or whatever!!!!!

Mike Rape:

Nobody knows what Mike really does! Or where he is!

He spends most of his time preparing for his rocket pitch to Cathy for the next "BIG IDEA"
