The first Saturday of August is National Mead Day celebrated by the American Mead Makers Association and meaderies across the country! And we’re celebrating too! For the occasion, we’ve got some fun things in store for you! - The release of our very first “session mead”. A lower alcohol, very drinkable mead on tap by the glass. Our first one is a (currently unnamed) lime and ginger “Mule”. We’ve got ideas for some other flavors yet to come too! Come out and try it! - Mead making demo at 4 pm. Join Ben to see how to make a small batch of mead at home. (And consider signing up for our Beginning Mead Making Class on Oct 19th!) - Tours of the meadery at 1, 3 and 5 pm. See how it’s done on a bigger scale. - And sample some local NC meads from other mead makers! We’re sharing the love with our NC neighbors and featuring some of their yummy meads too! Come out and join us for a great day all about our favorite drink! (If you are looking for our Mini Renaissance Faire that we used to do on Mead Day, it's now called Mead Fest and will be on Sept 28th!)
