Hey all, long story short, Melovino Meadery is doing a fundraiser to completely change their closure system on their bottles. The Zorks (synthetic easy to use corks) that they currently use are very suddenly being discontinued so they need to convert their entire production line to actual corks. No small feat. This is a great meadery that is making waves in the industry, so we should try to help them out.

If you are able to afford it, they have a GREAT fundraiser promo.

- Benefits effective July 1st, 2017 thru Fall of 2018
- A 15% off discount at the meadery and online
- A whopping 18% off the purchase of 12 or more bottles
- Four quarterly club orders of six bottles each (first one Fall of 2017)
- Pickup your club orders or have them shipped free of charge
- Unlimited FREE tours & tastings for you and a guest
- Purchase experimental batches available to members only
- Pre-purchase limited release meads before the general public
- Member first invites to special meadery events

So for $300, you get 24 bottles of mead over the course of the year, with free shipping. This would be a great way to experience commercial mead at a relatively low price for those who don't have any available locally.

I am considering signing up for the fundraiser club, have never had anything from Melovino but have heard a lot of good things. The number of meaderies with distro in Chicago is surprisingly small (considering how much beer we get) so I mostly depend on places that ship to try new stuff. Will post reviews if/when I get some stuff from them.
