About Artifice Ales & Mead
Artifice Ales & Mead is a brewery and brewpub in Manheim, inside the REO Manheim Marketplace. Its website says it was founded by the partners who launched Meduseld Meadery in Lancaster in 2017. That makes mead as much a part of the story as beer.
The beer and mead are made in small batches on site. The website says the mead uses honey from Wampler's in Manheim. Its draft style meads run from honey forward to something closer to a fruit cider.
The kitchen serves traditional pub food with a twist. The website names burgers and macaroni and cheese as favorites that stay on the menu through the seasonal changes. It also lists craft cocktails made with local spirits, mocktails and soda flights.
Dogs are not allowed inside or on the patio, though the website says staff can offer a table on the grass beside it. More people have reviewed Artifice Ales & Mead on Google than any other brewery, taproom or beer shop in Manheim on this site.
