Nah.
But then we wouldn’t get to have exchanges like this.
also, pretty sure I am following the homebrew thread. I just haven’t brewed anything in an ent’s age.

So said I'd post pics of my tasting at Pips today so here ya go!
Fantastic lineup needless to say. Everything was top notch. Even the basil lemonade was surprisingly good. The raspberry pancake was the winner for me and the meadowfoam prestige was my wife's favorite.
At the end of the one hour tasting Matt came out and talked a bit and had each of us draw a card out of a standard deck of playing cards. Black cards got to buy a Key Lime Pie and red cards were able to buy Apple Turn Over. If you pulled a joker you were able to get a Snake in My Shews. It was a fun hour and worth the 2 hour drive for us. Matt is doing godly stuff with bee vomit. Hope to be able to go again real soon.

Am I the only one who makes faces and does weird dances if and when I'm left alone in the Pips tasting room and all I can think about is that camera staring at me? I get a warm and fuzzy feeling just imaging Matt going through the security tapes and stumbles upon my goofy ass making a fool of myself.So said I'd post pics of my tasting at Pips today so here ya go!

I can't be the only one.
P.S. I also do this when someone has a Ring doorbell.
XPost from the hauls thread. New Bloody Chainsaw mead arrived today! So stoked about the meadowfoam one.
For the folks Instagram doesn’t load good for on mobile, Beacon (beaconmead.com) now ships to California, which can be accessed either via VinoShipper or directly through the webshop.
Been largely over mead for a while now (just too sweet), but finally decided to open this very special bottle (2nd to last mead in possession) a great trader and friend had sent me years ago. He had worked with another one of my past RTPs to figure out a rar mead I had not been sent before (jeez what a guy). So this is pretty damn good, not too sweet, much more complex in flavor, and full of that current-y flavor that made me like Schramm's in the first place. Thank you again Bill!
TBers may know Bill, he was SaltyMalty before changing his handle to this ridiculousness:
Glad you liked this one. It is a treat.

That being said, there is a whole world of mead out there drier than this, and I am finding more and more dry meads that are well executed. But it’s not hype or popular with the pastry crowd so it tends to get middle of the road ratings on Untappd from what I have observed. Wine review sites are tough to use as a manufacturer and there still isn’t a lot of traction in that market so there isn’t a good place to look to see where it really falls other than looking for reviews or commentary from other people who enjoy and “get” dry meads.
I posted this up earlier in the Krampus BIF hauls. It’s a pretty great dry black currant and rosemary mead I received in the BIF I would buy again if it was on the shelves near me.
How Mead Went From ‘Game of Thrones’ to Brooklyn Bars (Published 2020)
The transformation of medieval honey wine from Renaissance Fair to New York’s next cool drink.
some mead talk in the NY Times. I guess we're sophisticated now.
basic article of the typical rehashed themes regarding mead.
highlights include the fact they didn't only talk about Dylan Sprouse and the only bar mentioned was the one I work at.
lowlights include not including Beacon in the small list of regional meaderies. boo them.
Talking about Dylan is better than talking about no one. His meadery has a huge following. I am not mad about that. Would have been nice if they tried either Beacon or WA Meadworks but whatever.How Mead Went From ‘Game of Thrones’ to Brooklyn Bars (Published 2020)

I just meant the article didn't focus solely on him.
And I forgot about WA. Need to get out there one day.

Is Chateau Schramm Naeger ever gonna be a thing?
The business page is still active on FB but James is back at Schramm’s and Rebuttal was released this weekend so . . .
♀ Your guess is as good as anyone else’s.
I am generally not a huge fan of Meadowfoam
Honey. I think honey has a lot more to show that vanilla flavors so I tend to find the choice boring and safe. But the flavors in this one are complimentary and really well executed. Not mad about it at all.
And before anyone asks the name has nothing to do with Tool .
Garagiste has distro in the northern IL area and I'm very happy about that. Smelled and tasted like a red wine only with that wonderful honey sweetness.
Found one of the old plastic cork-thingy Melovino bottles. Too bad they went under they seem to work pretty well.
