On Saturday September 20th, WAHA will host a Mead & Cider Clinic at Larry's Brewing Supply. There will be discussion about mead and cider styles as well as making mead and cider. There will be information about where to obtain fruit and must for cider and honeys for mead. Additionally, there will be information about judging these styles. To coincide with this clinic, there will be a local Mead & Cider only competition about this time next year. Come to the clinic, learn about making mead & cider, make a mead or cider and then enter it in the Mead & Cider only competition next year. There will be a $15.00 charge for the clinic that will cover lunch, handouts and tastings of various meads & ciders. BEWBC WILL PAY THIS FEE FOR MEMBERS ATTENDING THE CLINIC. The clinic will begin at 10:00 am and run through about 2:30 pm.
As a bonus, on Friday September 19th, The Impaling Alers will host a mead making demonstration by one of their long time club member meadmakers, Rich Webb. Come to Larry's Brewing Supply on Friday night at 7:00 pm as well and watch mead being made.
If you've never made mead or cider before, here's a couple of great opportunity to explore these interesting styles.
