Picture
Havoc Mead is thrilled to announce the next release in our Sour Series.

We're calling it the Sour Meadmaker: Raspberry Lime Ricky!

​
This brew is the 3rd in Havoc's Sour Series and will be just as twisted and delicious as our previous single-batch sours, Rumble and Curmudgeon. This one is inspired by our Head Meadmaker, the one and only Ricky Klein, also known as "Ricky the Meadmaker."

Like our other Sour Series brews, Sour Meadmaker will be brewed with as many local natural ingredients as possible, including honey from our friends at French Hill Apiaries.

And, of course, we need you! Our wild/local artists!!!

First prize is $100 and your artwork on every can of Sour Meadmaker.

To participate, please read the guidelines below and email a high-resolution image of your submission along with your full name, phone number, and the title of the work to Ricky@groennfell.com.

Deadline for submissions is February 22nd, 2021.

For inspiration, feel free to check out our previous Sour Series winners and art submissions at the bottom of this post.

​You are allowed (and encouraged!) incorporate Ricky the Meadmaker's likeness in your submissions. For reference on Ricky, visit our YouTube channel and check out back episodes of Ricky the Meadmaker.​

Thursday Fun Fact 1-14 - Fun Fact:  You could start saying, “Y’know what they say, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the apiarist.’” Then when people look confused or try to correct you, you would say, “You would probably say ‘bee-holder,’ but ‘apiarist’ is the technical term.” - Groennfell Meadery
Spoiler alert! This does not help you make or retain friends.

    Groennfell Meadery is Vermont’s premier craft meadery. Inspired by Old Norse legends, brewed with extraordinary ingredients, Groennfell’s meads are unlike anything you’ve had before. Crisp, clean, and astoundingly drinkable, the only way to explain any one of Groennfell’s meads is to try one yourself.
