Mead Day Saturday August 6th
The first Saturday every August is the official AHA National Mead Day since it began in 2002. So we will be celebrating on August 6th at the home of Dan & Anne Hakes by brewing, tasting and talking about mead. For those of you who are new to mead making, we have some very experienced club members who will be happy to demonstrate and provide instructions on the process.
You of course are encouraged to brew your own batch or batches of mead as well! Please make sure to bring all of your own ingredients and supplies, though Dan has a water filter available so you do not need to bring your own water unless you choose to.
Some snacks will be provided and the Carriage House Taproom will be open. If you have some mead to share, bring it along. Beer is welcome too as well as any other munchies. Drop by, socialize, and watch how easy it is to make mead!
