This innovative venture has a stated aim of making an ancient drink - mead - using modern brewing techniques. The outcome is a mix of tradition with a modern twist. Ingredients are sourced locally including the honey from the owners' own bees. A great deal of effort was expended transforming a neglected space into the well-designed area it is today housing the Hive Mind brewery and the attractive and increasingly popular Tap Room. This is open Friday & Saturday while the main business is open 10am-6pm except for Sunday & Monday. Expect to see two out of three cask ales (Golden Ale, IPA, or Smoked Porter) on sale at any one time while the rest is a choice of interesting craft beers. The Tap Room is also open on the last Saturday of the month for events, and may open regularly in the summer. There is a short cut from the bus stops on Caldicot Bypass to access the site, look for a path flanked by fencing.
