About us
Happy Half-Orc Meadery
At Happy Half-Orc Meadery, we are passionate about crafting small-batch, high-quality meads that bring people together. Founded in Amarillo, Texas, our meadery blends old-world techniques with a modern approach to create bold, flavorful meads made from pure honey and natural ingredients. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in every bottle — from fermenting and bottling to labeling by hand. Our goal is simple: to make mead that's approachable, delicious, and a little adventurous — just like us. Whether you're a seasoned mead drinker or trying it for the first time, we invite you to join us on this journey and share in the magic of honey wine.
