Talking Mead with the Viking Alchemist Meadery – Episode 77
Maybe your only exposure to Mead was at your local Renaissance Festival.
If that’s the case, then rethink everything you know about the ancient drink.
Robin, Tamara and Brian Kosoris are the family members behind Marietta’s Viking Alchemist Meadery. According to Robin, you won’t really get a honey flavor from their meads. But what you will get are a bunch of bold flavors. The Viking Alchemist Meadery creates meads that are approachable to both the beer crowd and wine fans.
Plus, we learn how to brew your own mead (hint: it’s pretty easy to get started!)
Plus, Brian Hewitt has his Cigar in 60 segment, and Jay Williams checks out Red Hare Brewing‘s Sparkling Grapefruit soda.
