Rohan Meadery

La Grange, TX, US • 5 - 9 Employees
Alcoholic Beverages

Rohan Meadery, founded in 2008, is nestled between the small south central Texas communities of La Grange, Round Top & Fayetteville on Blissful Folly Farm. Rohan Meadery is owned & operated by John & Wendy Rohan. The meads are prepared in a Czech style, resulting in a crisp, clean & slightly drier end product. John's great- great grandfather Frank Rohan, immigrated from Moravia (Czech Republic) & settled just south of La Grange in the community of High Hill in the 1880s. John's grandfather also had a penchant for homebrew (keeping his friends & neighbors quite happy during prohibition!), so it came as no surprise when John made his first batch of mead in junior high school! Since then he has honed his craft, studying chemical engineering along the way, and now produces some of the finest meads in the world. He is happy to continue the family tradition! John also enjoys beekeeping, farm chores & coaxing the greatness out of a batch of yeast! Wendy Rohan spent her undergraduate years working in fungus, yeast & microbiology labs. After college, Wendy joined the Peace Corps and was sent to Senegal, West Africa. It was here on the edge of the Sahel desert, that Wendy was first exposed to bees & beekeeping....falling in love with the insect. After briefly leading tours to other countries in West Africa, Wendy returned to Texas & began teaching high school science, which she continued to do for ten years. Wendy loves beekeeping, developing mead formulas & tasting the nuanced changes in the honey from year to year.
