Who We Are

Our Story

Saga Meadery officially started producing meads in 2015. The company was founded on the desire of its founder to share high quality meads with the world. At Saga, we want to bring mead back to its former glory and ubiquity.

About The Founder

Kevin Poplaski has always been a great lover of books. In their pages, he discovered many characters enjoying mead in different contexts. He became curious about mead in college but was unable to find it anywhere. Not to be deterred, he took a friend’s suggestion to make his own. He always had a natural affinity for the kitchen and after buying some equipment, he gave his first batch a try under his dorm room bed. After many revisions, moving out of the dorm room and listening to very patient family testers, he finally found the high quality meads that he would be proud to share with the world.

2nd time going to this meadery and let me tell you that the owner put in great effort and pride in his business. Very well crafted meade. Help support the local meadery because they have a dream of becoming famous with their products! Will keep coming back for more! Love the crisp apple meade!

Amazing little find otw from Front Royal to our vacation spot in the mountains. Super friendly and knowledgeable about all the flavor profiles. My adult children were with us and we ended up leaving with 5 bottles of Mead. Including one for the holidays. If you like Mead, it's a MUST stop!

If you're visiting Shenandoah, Saga is a perfect place to have a drink and some food after your hike! Excellent mead, personable owner, and kid friendly. Having tried meads in the past, I found that the selection and flavor profile for each of Saga's meads (we tasted all of them 😁) was unmatched. Each mead's flavor is distinct and delicious; the best meads I've had to date. We enjoyed it so much, that we walked out with 4 bottles to share with friends in the future and joined Saga's member club to receive 4 bottles in the mail every 3 months. The owner knows his product and takes care to make the experience enjoyable for customers! He even had organic juice for our kids!

This is gem of a find for mead! My favorite is the jalapeno infused mead, a must try. There's a food bar behind, a collaboration I'd think that has amazing sandwiches and the best gormet coleslaw. Plenty of picnic tables to relax and enjoy the mead and great food.

Delicious Meade with many different options of flavors infused. With it being summer, their slushy was genius. The Winter Cheer was also refreshing and tasty with the added spices, even in the summer.
