5-9-17 We’re tickled to be talking with James Boicourt, co-owner with Andrew Geffken of Charm City Meadworks in Baltimore, MD.
James got hooked on bees in college, and has been a honey nut ever since. He and Jeff met after college, and their honey madness turned from a thing, into an annual Viking Fest, and then into a business.
Charm City makes some pretty awesome meads, and has rapidly grown up and out. They make some really interesting flavors for their meads, and we’re going to see what they have to say about them.
