Because there’s space between beer, wine, and cocktails — and that’s where we live.
We love beer. We enjoy wine. Cocktails have their place. But we kept wanting something smoother. Something balanced. Something easier to love.
Honey gave us that starting point. Not the heavy, medieval version people imagine. A clean, modern expression built for today's drinker.
Everything we pour is brewed on site in Somerville, NJ. We don't overcomplicate it. We don't over-explain it.
We guide first-timers. We encourage flights. We let people discover something new — without pressure.
Middlemist isn't about reviving the past. It's about building what honey-based drinks can be now.
We chose Somerville intentionally. A walkable downtown. Curious people. A community open to something new. Our taproom is part brewery, part social space — designed for conversation, not ceremony.
