Mead Day – Saturday, August 1st

July 29, 2009

Mead Day, organized by the American Homebrewers Association (AHA), is a national event to help increase camaraderie among homebrewers and meadmakers to introduce or reintroduce the meadmaking hobby.
Each year on the first Saturday in August, homebrewers around the nation are encouraged to invite non-brewing and brewing friends and family to celebrate by making mead.

One local event can be found at B. Nektar Meadery in Ferndale, MI. Here’s the days events:

B. Nektar Meadery is proud to host Mead Day at our facility once again this year. It just-so-happens to be the 1 year anniversary of our official opening! This year is sure to be fun with mead making demonstrations, a Ken Schramm honey presentation, food, music, and of course – mead tasting all day.
All of our meads will be available for purchase as well as some bad-ass t-shirts, sexy tank tops for the ladies, and logo glasses (we do take credit cards). Ken Schramm will also be selling and signing his book, “The Compleat Mead Maker” (cash or check only).
