Round 84 - Mead!

<p>Now for something COMPLETELY different: This week, Stephen &amp; Gabe are taking a dive into the wide world of mead! Made from fermented honey and water, mead is essentially a honey wine that predates beer, wine and all other spirits. While you may recognize mead only as a drink fit for Vikings, the category is extremely versatile and continues to gain popularity in the craft drink space. First, the boys will head down to Austin, TX for a visit to Meridian Hive, a meadery offering a lineup of sparkling options made from quality Orange Blossom Honey. Then, we’ll head to Negus Brewing, a Virginia-based craft brewery producing an authentic, Ethiopian Tej that’s unlike anything we’ve had before!</p> <p>Featured drinks: Meridian Hive’s Discovery (Honey) and Frontier Honey &amp; Hops &amp; Negus Brewing’s Mama’s Authentic Honey Tej. Plus: <em>This Week in Gross</em> is back with a bang and some things just don’t need to be ice cream.</p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app">https://anchor.fm/app</a> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thehop/message
