Bob SlanziTonight at 9PM ET, we’re hanging out with Bob Slanzi, beekeeper, meadmaker, industry influencer and general all around pretty cool guy. We’re going to ramble around and talk mead both here in the US and in Europe.

Bob Slanzi has been keeping bees and making award winning meads for years He is very active in the meadmaking, homebrew and beekeeping communities, having held offices in both his clubs in NY in the past. he is the past president of the Home Governing Committee of the American Mead Makers Association, and very active in helping bring the word of mead to everyone. He is the person who set up and maintains the monthly deals the American Mead Makers Association has for members. Bob was a speaker at the 2022 European Mead Makers Association Conference and judged at their Mead Madness Cup mead competition.

He is known for his meads, and isn’t afraid to try new flavors, like seaweed or toasted walnuts. Bob likes to experiment, and talks about layering flavors in meads to get the result you want.

Join us as we talk with and chat about what he’s making, and what he’s seen and learned.
