Four Fires Meadery

Four Fires Meadery Toledo’s First Meadery! Creation Through Collaboration So, what’s in a name? So where did we get Four Fires? Well there are four of us, hence, Four Fires!

We derive our name from the original native tribes of northwest Ohio and the surrounding areas; the Chippewa, the Ottawa and the Potawatomi. In 796 AD the three tribes decided to work together and The Council of Three Fires (tribes) was created. Who are we, you ask? Keep reading to find out! Athreya Rajan: Resident corporate puppet and stickler for tradition. His style can be described as a drinka

ble Katy Perry song. His hobbies include staring at himself in the mirror and torturing people in his car by playing music no one likes. Christopher Clarke: The Wildcard, rarely can people keep a handle on him, and well known for transforming lesser sought ingredients into delectable wonders. Andrew "Sticky" Lynch: Glass Blower and Toledo native that likes to focus on meads so secret we don’t even know if he actually works here. But seriously have you seen him lately? Eh, never mind go read about someone else. Josh "Captain" Kirk: Civil engineer, musician, and resident ginger with a penchant for spice. When he’s not saving the nation’s infrastructure from the comfort of his corner cubicle, he can be found sneaking hot peppers into just about everything, including his eggs…who does that?

It's been a while since we've posted, and we have some big changes to go over since the last time we've posted (all good news, we promise)

In the meantime, hello again everyone.

We. Are. So. Back.

Our bottles are OI

Of the 20,000 + pounds of honey we buy per year, half of it is locally harvested

We buy berries from Ackerman, Johnston, and Polter Berry Farms

We buy Cider from MacQueen and Witts

We buy all of our Basil from Balance Farms

We get Black Currants from Sophia Quintero Cultural Center Gardens

Our labels were produced by a local company (they were unfortunately bought out and shipped out of state, so we are in search of a new local supply)

Our festival labels are produced by Steve Wherry

Titgemier's Lawn and Feed is an almost weekly stop for Chris

Purchasing Four Fires products means money working for the community. Money staying in the community, and money going to a small business that spends it's money at small businesses.

If you have a local meadery near you, you’re sitting on a liquid treasure—and they need your support now more than ever. 💛
Here’s why choosing your local meadery matters:

-Keeps your money local – Your dollars go to real people in your community: staff, producers, farmers, and beekeepers.
Strengthens local agriculture – Many meaderies source honey, fruit, and spices from nearby partners, supporting a whole ecosystem of small businesses.

-Celebrates unique flavors – Local mead is a snapshot of place: your region’s honey, your climate, your ingredients. You literally can’t get that profile anywhere else.

-Grows mead culture – Every flight you order, bottle you gift, and friend you bring along helps introduce more people to mead.

This weekend, we challenge you to:
-Visit a local meadery tasting room
-Pick up a bottle (or three) for your next gathering
-Post a photo and tag the meadery to help spread the word 📸

Mead is ancient, but its future is local. Go support your neighborhood meadmakers!

Dry, quaffable, and smells like cantaloupe

When it's gone, we are going to obsess over recreating it for a while, but that could take weeks, months, YEARS! Well maybe not years, but still.

Things are back in full motion around here and it feels good to see the whole machine running again

More honey headed into tanks for our Quarter Two availability.

We got the Strawberry situation under control, and we are starting to get Basil trickling in so we will have fresh kegs of our four Flagship Hydromels

Strawberry Dichro
Blood Orange Dichro
Mass A Peel
Slappin Da Basil

The last kegs of Pineberry Bliss have been filled for the year, and we will transition to a Quarter Two Seasonal. A brand new Hydromel Cyser produced by Brent for the swing from Spring to Summer! Stay tuned for further details!

April's Dichro is Plum, so we will move from that fun new blended Stonefruit Dichro, into a more pure expression. If you've have Plum Dichro before, you already know this is one of the top Dichros we make! If you haven't tried it yet, you gotta see what you've been missing!

Taproom is open Friday's and Saturday's from 4:00-10:00pm
We have no scheduled food trucks for this weekend, so feel free to bring food in, or have delivery from any of the nearby restaurants!
