Response by poster: I dunno, I've found it to be a pretty rare item. Any suggestions will be welcome.
And if nobody knows specifically where to get mead, perhaps someone could suggest the most ginormously huge wine/liquor store they know of, in the hopes that it may have mead.

Best answer: Astor Wines & Spirits on Lafayette at 4th St. According to their website they have mead (Including one called "Brooklyn Buzz Mead" ... awesome). While you're in the neighborhood, swing by Max Brenner's for the best chocolate experience of your life.

Are you worried about our mead toast tomorrow night?

Response by poster: Naw, they got plenty at The Ginger Man. This is a separate issue.

Oh, good. Carry on, then.
(And I always found Grand Liquors in Astoria to have excellent selection of alcoholic beverages across the spectrum.)

I'm pretty sure they have some mead at Spuyten Duyvil Grocery in Williamsburg. Its on Bedford. Your profile shows you in the LES so that's pretty close.

Accept no substitutes. Dogfish Head's Midas Touch is the only commercial mead worth your dollar.
As I live in Atlanta, the best I can offer is this map of DFH sales locations.
Happy fishing!

Bierkraft in Park Slope has this mix of mead and gueuze, which you might like.

This comment will not be as helpful as I'd hoped:
I was going to come in to recommend Vintage New York on Broome st, but they apparently have closed. I know that they carried wines from Lakewood, a winery upstate that makes a few meads. They don't appear to penetrate far downstate, except for New Paltz... Good luck?

Response by poster: Ack! Sorry it took me so long to resolve this. Anyway, I wound up going to Astor because they're right around the corner from me. They do indeed have a few varieties of mead - in particular, I recommend the Lurgashall's.
However, I want to thank everybody who gave me recommendations! The solstice is coming up in a few months, so I'll no doubt again be in the market for some mead.
