Happy one year to Foxes Den!
Brandy barrel, please. What did you have?
We could only stay for an hour due to other obligations. L to R is Sesh: Kiwi Strawberry, Gin Amythyst and Sesh Lemonade. Not pictured: Stroopwaffle.
One of the early member releases compared to Zymarium pre opening releases.
Age has done this mead well
Been meaning to give this place another try at the urging of others. Their house culture when they first opened was… not great.
Second time I tried, I liked the elderberry but the Basil Lemongrass was a hard pass.
Today, I had my mom try the elderberry while I ordered two new to me meads. Salt Box Summer is cherry sourspop (risky but I am a sucker and try them always), and Out of Left Field, based on the Orange Crush cocktail. Both are great session meads I would be happy to drink anytime. And the space is lovely.

So they’re no longer in a barren industrial space that’s hotter than the sun?
They have shade cabanas for the picnic tables
MJ Pips has a dry champagne style cyser based French 75. And it’s perfect. Left glass is a purposefully oxidized pour of the truffle mead which has some great sherry tones, more pronounced truffle and me still telling Matt he should have used Italian Chestnut.

Love that! Last time I was in I was talking to Joy about my love of French 75 drink.

Crafted Mangolorian is stupid good. Maybe a hair too sweet in quantity but dangerous how good it is.
I get where they were going with the name on this but anything that encourages dudes to say “I am always grateful for head” is a bad name. No one thinks your joke is funny. Beverage itself is fine.
6 years is the correct age for this mead.
The lime flavor is still too loud. Very polarizing. I added a little Saturn (Standard mead based on the cocktail) to mine to lighten how bright the lime is in this. I think all the flavors are there but the lime is just too much without more sweetness and age didn’t help.

That's a good tablecloth to use for drunk mead drinkers.
2018 white foil drinking pretty good rn.
Bourbon Stave widow.
I’ll be honest, I was expecting the Marshmallow La Hire to need to have been drank ages ago and it was pretty great.
Many pancakes were opened today by my friends. Blueberry was my favorite as I just can’t do the super acidic stuff anymore but other preferred B1 Banana and Raspberry. So choose your preferred fruit.
We can be unspecial together once I get through the next few weeks. I can drive up there. It’s fine.
Opening a b1 bourbon blueberry pancake n a random Tuesday because I have way too many “special” bottles in the cellar that I never have occasions like tastings any more to open them. So you random cellar pulls like this.

Are you close to there? My bro lives 30 minutes away and I keep wanting to get out there when I visit but it never happens. Some of the meads I’ve had from them were very good but others not so much.
Edit - nevermind. I’m thinking of Brewlihan in terms of location. But I was thinking of Zym meads that I’ve had.
