Season 2: Episode 2 (8/9/2021) - Happy National Mead Day!

Send us Fan MailOk, so technically National Mead Day was 8/7 but this show comes out on Monday so just be happy there is another excuse to celebrate drinking alcohol!  Dan and Tom have wanted to do a mead episode for quite some time and the pieces finally all came together.  When it comes to traditional mead in this country there are few people better qualified and informed than Aly Schramm, CEO of Schramm's Mead.  If you've been thinking of dipping your toe in the world of mead or maybe you are a Schramm's fanboy or fangirl, you need to give this a listen!  Aly did not disappoint and ATB was so grateful for the time we spent speaking with her.  Not unlike craft beer, the mead industry in the US also has a "new money" aspect to it and damn is it exciting!  ATB could not have a mead episode without interviewing one of the newest and highly anticipated meaderies in the country.  Charles Rapadas, proprietor of Culling, also joined us to offer his perspective on what it's been like for him brewing mead and opening up a brand new business.   Whether you are familiar with Charles or not you have probably heard of his other passion project, Three Chiefs, where some of the biggest stouts in the country have come from.  Give a listen and find out how to get on Culling's waiting list for future memberships!  All this, and not much more, on another episode of America The BREW-tiful!
