Sorry for reusing this image. Somehow we didn’t get any good photos from the actual tasting…

The first Saturday of August has been dubbed National Mead Day by the American Homebrewers’ Association. In episode 16, we change things up, presenting a recording of our 2015 Mead Day Mead Tasting, trying three traditional meads. Some of the guests were brand new to mead, others were a bit more experienced having made a few batches themselves. Grab a bottle and join us as we taste these meads. And be sure to check out our tasting cards and evaluation sheets to help you better describe your mead!

If you are wondering how we put together the tasting, we wrote a post on the 5 things you need to consider when planning a mead tasting.

Lastly, if you are reading this within 36 hours of its release, be sure to listen to the GotMead Live internet radio show on Sept 1, 2015 at 9pm EST. Tysen and Allen will be on for an interview, and we’d love to hear from you! The dial in number is 818-921-4680.

Quote of the Episode:

For the people who like that kind of thing, that is the kind of thing they like.

And for a little history, Dave mistakenly attributes this quote to Yogi Berra. While the quote is often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, it really came from Artemus Ward (1).
