Thursday Fun Fact 8-28 - Although mead is a near constant element in Viking-era myths, the early compilers of the myths may have had almost no real life experience with the beverage since honey bees didn't show up in Iceland until 1930! - Groennfell Meadery

Thursday Fun Fact 8-8 - Up until around 1200 CE, the vast majority of brewers in England were women known as Alewives. Then the term meant female bartender. Then it was a type of fish, which seems pretty unfair for such a cool word. - Groennfell Meadery

Thursday Fun Fact 8-1: National Mead Day

8/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Thursday Fun Fact 8-1 - Groennfell Meadery - What do Easter, Thanksgiving, and National Mead Day have in common? They all happen on a different date every year, but the day of the week stays the same! You know what else they have in common? Pretty much nothing.
We eat gratuitous amounts of meat on all three, but that’s merely by choice.

Join us this Saturday 8/3 for a Live Mead Demo (2-5 pm) and our Mead Day Festival (4-8 pm) to get an exclusive glimpse into our new digs and, of course, some great food and drink!
