I rarely have found mead on tap. But, now am starting to see it a little more often in some micro brew, cideries and I suspect could show up in wineries too. Would like to hear where you have found Mead available and if they are worth seeking out?

Recently had a business trip to Lincoln, NE
Boilers Brewing Company in South Lincoln had 4 Meads on tap. (And some very good beers too)
- A Black Raspberry Meadow Maple Mead - Acerglyn / Maple Wine14% ABV (Did not try)
- A Barrel Aged Quad Buried Mead- Melomel 14% ABV (Very Good)
- A Red, Black, & Blue Bomb Mead - Melomel 14% (Very Good)
- A Blackberry Meadowfoam Sparkling Session Mead - 8% ABV (Bought a Crowler to take home. The others were not available in Crowlers)

Sociable Cider Works in Minneapolis MN typically has a couple of Session Meads available. (Originally was not too impressed, more recently they have been pretty good.)
 
This really comes down to where you live, who's commercially making mead, and if restaurants / bars feel it's worth carrying.

In higher population areas, you are more likely to have breweries and meaderies making alcohol. A lot of them have tap rooms, where you can sample and buy their products. If you are really fortunate, your local meadery has a nice area in which to relax, maybe have a snack, and drink their mead.

Similarly, the more meaderies in the area, the more likely local bars and restaurants will have them on tap. If your favorite bar or restaurant has mead in bottles, see if they would get it on tap. Usually they'll rotate in one tap, if enough people ask for something different.

Use DuckDuckGo or Google to find out where mead is being made near you. Then, see what places offer those or any meads on tap.
