Mead has been brewed in Ireland for over 5000 years and holds a sacred place in Irish culture. It is deeply intertwined with Celtic mythology and monastic life.
Ancient Irish laws regulated beekeeping and mead held a prominent place in weddings where newlyweds were gifted a moon’s cycle worth of honey-wine to promote fertility and good fortune—giving rise to the term "honeymoon."
At Padraigs we have our own honey ale (not mead) that we call it Padraigs Honey Blonde Ale, which we brew with Irish barley and yes, real honey! We want you to try it, so this Saturday and Sunday our Honey Blonde Ale will be Honey Moon priced at $5 for a 20oz pint!

Having a cool taproom and patio filled with fun events means that not everyone comes to Padraigs to drink beer, so we offer the biggest selection of NA, soft drinks, water etc of any taproom in the Twin Cities!
We offer NA beer from @gobrewing which has been extremely popular!
Come in and try one if you are looking for a great tasting NA option.
