9-14-21Tonight we’re celebrating National Honey Month with Alison Conklin at the National Honey Board. The NHB has a bunch of really interesting events and campaigns going on during September.
The National Honey Board is doing all kinds of things for National Honey Month, including the Honey Saves Hives campaign to support honey bees, our favorite insectss. As part of that they’ve done a collaboration with Billy and Savannah at Lost Cause Meadery in San Diego, where $3 of every bottle of Gone West, their latest traditional, goes to support Honey Saves Hives in September.They are also partnering with Sergio Moutela (Melovino) at Melle Water.
Also in celebration of National Honey Month, the Honey Board has partnered with the Pink Boots Society to produce honey beers. The Pink Boots Society was created to assist, inspire and encourage women fermented/beverage professionals through education.
The Honey Board is also holding their Mead Crafters Competition, for professional meaderies which is open for registration until October 1 (get your entries in!!)
We’ll also be talking about Heineken and their mead launch (big beer jumping in!) and of course, bees.
It should be a fun time, join us!
