Emrys Beer & Mead Works opened in 2024 in Liberty Lake. Emrys means "immortal" in Welsh, which fits the owner's, Thomas Croskrey, undying enthusiasm to bring the meadery to life, but also his modern-historical fusion concept that resurrects an ancient drink for contemporary palates. Guests can nosh on a single, double, triple or quad smashburger, or a frankfurter topped with bacon, onion-pickle marmalade and sauerkraut, or a veggie smashburger with grilled mushroom, hummus, havarti and hot honey. Oh, and don't skip the pickle fries.
