Massive Party means live bands, 6-8 carbonated meads on tap, many new releases as well as the famous B Nektar mead cocktails.

Glad you got home safe! Oh yeah and I want your OB Hibiscus Mead recipe lol
 
So no one has any suggestions for a location and date for late June/early July throw out the ideas so we can plan early? Come on guys what weekend is good for a majority of people?

June 23 or 24 and July 7 or 8 work great for me, June 30-July 1 could work but even if I can't make it I'd still like to see these get togethers become a regular thing. I know that not every person is going to be able to make every one. Kuhnhenn's or B Nektar again or does someone have another suggestion?
 
Hurricane season??

I've been busy with beer events most of June and July, like the Summer Beer Fest in
Ypsi next weekend. Hopefully things will be calmer and less hot in August. :)

Yes, hurricane!...downside to my job is storm clean-up and restoration of services afterwards....just got home long enough to wash clothes and repack bags to leave again....at least I won't be home staring at my carboys aging, lol
 
Mead and greet, my house

Well guys, I'm home for a bit now it seems....I have a small honey do list of painting and redocorating the great room. Once this is complete I think it's time for another mead and greet. I'm thinking November sometime, I will have 2 different meads ready, an assortment of wine and quite possibly a pumpkin ale, who's in?
 
Spring, time for old dead threads to come back to life?? :)

Anybody considering going to the Spring Mead Festival at BNektar this year (april 20th)?

Met up with Yo Mama last August at their Anniversary party, hopefully they will have ironed out a few of the glitches for this one...
 
Yeah if the weather was like it was today it would have been perfect. I was there as well but no clue who anyone was LOL
 
So between Ferndale and Warren you spend a nice Saturday bouncing between

Schramm's
BNektar
Kuhnhenn
Dragonmead

Didn't hurt that I got to watch Ken open up a 5 gallon bucket of Heather Honey...

Stopped by Champane's Wine and Beer store up the road from Kuhnhenn and picked up a couple of meads I'd never neard of.

Maybe this Spring either at BNektar's spring fling or on some other date we can try to get another meetup?
