Event Description
What is mead? How is it made? This will be a special treat for everyone as we will have the Owner of White Bear Meadery, Josh and Dana Eckton give us a special "How it's 'mead' tour" of one of the state's only meaderies! We will learn how he turns honey, water, yeast and in some varieties, fruit into this ancient alcohol drink.
Space is limited and registration is required.
Our family is introducing mead, also known as honey wine, to the masses. Mead is fermented honey that can also be blended with fruits and spices. We will be locally hand crafting meads for the Twin Cities area to enjoy. Mead is an ancient libation that dates back well over 1000 years ago and was made by many cultures from around the world.
Our focus is on locally sourced ingredients. Our star ingredient is Minnesota grown honey that we blend with as many other fresh local ingredients as possible. Ingredients such as local strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, maple syrup and apples. We educate the uninitiated in our tasting room by making personal connections with our patrons. Through these personal connections we will not only talk about our different selections of mead, but also about our primary ingredient honey.
