Stowe Brewers Festival
Summer's here! That means that the fine folk from Groennfell will be hitting the road and popping up all over the fine state of Vermont.

​Drinking with us at the Mead Hall is awesome, but sometimes you just need to get a pint of mead while staring at some cows, a mountainside, or while listening to excellent live music...

So, here's a smattering of our upcoming events:
Friday, June 30th : Tasting at Sweet Clover Market
Saturday, July 1st : Tasting at Winooski Beverage and Havoc Bike Ride at Sunny Hollow
Friday, July 7th : Tasting in Jamaica, VT
Saturday, July 8th : Grafton Food Festival
Sunday, July 16th : Vermont Cheesemakers Festival
Friday-Sunday, July 21st-23rd : VT Mountain Bike Festival
Saturday, July 22nd : Tasting at City Market
Friday-Saturday, July 28th-29th : Stowe Brewers Festival

And that's just the next four weeks!

​So, come have a pint with us somewhere different!

Thursday Fun Fact 6-22: Liquid Nitrogen

6/22/2017

Thursday Fun Fact 6-22 - Groennfell Meadery - Did you know that you can put liquid nitrogen into mead? It would be pointless and probably a bad idea, but once you buy it and take it home, no one is going to stop you.

Viking Baby Is Here!

Future Meadmaker Nora - Groennfell Meadery
She's here! Viking Baby is here, and she has a real name that's all her own!

This is Nora, and she is the newest member of the Groennfell staff!

Her current roles include import/export logistics, public policy statements, "strategic branding," supply chain management, and environmental impact assessments.

I know what you're thinking, "That little girl is only six days old!" But, you'll be amazed to know that she's already reading at an 11-day-old level!

If you see her around, please know that Nora's just getting used to her new career, (and also getting used to breathing air), so cut her some slack if there's a bit of delay on follow-up with your transportation logistics proposal; she really is doing her best and will get back to you as soon as possible.

That last part also goes for her parents who are getting used to their daughter breathing air, so there might be a bit of a delay getting back to you.

For now, know that you are in excellent hands with the rest of the staff, and be on the lookout for the shortest member of the team at the next meadery event.
