Honeygirl Meadery got a major “glow up” at the end of 2024 by moving and expanding their facilities and offerings under new parent name: Ment Beverage Co. Along with continuing to craft the Honeygirl meads you know and love, the expansion allows them to bring even more tasty sips to the table, including cider, beer, sake, Delta 9 drinks and non-alcoholic options. The sake is the first produced in Durham and is made with rice grown in Eastern NC. You’ll find Ment’s new digs and tasting room at American Tobacco Campus in the heart of Durham’s social district. They have indoor and patio seating, games, a retail section, and regularly host fun events.
Great place! Great selection of meads, ciders, and even two sakes made with local rice. The meads are on the more dry to off dry on average, same with the ciders. They have a couple on the sweeter side that are also great.
The sake was incredible. It had a well balanced flavor rounding out with an incredible savory flavor.
The owner was working when I was there and he's super nice! It was awesome bring able to talk brewing, as I'm a homebrewer myself.

Chill vibes, a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, free popcorn, and super friendly staff! They always have something fun going on, too! I love their mead and cider, and their version of a shirley temple is my favorite. Highly recommend stopping in!

Great location and good atmosphere. We did the tour and learned about how they ferment all of their drinks. It was a lot of fun and the owner was friendly and knowledgeable. The cider was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. We will be back!

Ment Beverage Co./Honeygirl Meadery is open at American Tobacco Campus. It’s a cool place with a chill vide. Many flavors of mead, but beer and cocktails are also available. Just locate the smokestack alley and walk along the lower level of the building next to the iconic train car and ‘cage’ basketball court. Photo of the area uploaded.
