Show Notes

It's been said that Irish whiskey was the first spirit ever distilled. They're talking about something that might have occurred around 1 AD. However, it really doesn't matter if you've tried 2 Gingers Irish Whiskey today. Founder and Iron Bee supporter Kieran Folliard stops by the house, and what ensues is an interesting discussion on how he has been able to produce a fine Irish spirit. Look for similarities. AHA and Mazer Cup medalist Matt Weide stops in for a chat about bittering, something completely overlooked by many in home meadmaking. And finally, a few of our Facebook friends gets some answers to a few questions. Join us at the Iron Bee award ceremony and after-party for a night of fun, entertainment and mead tastings. Let us know you're coming so we can prepare for your participation! Please go here, Join The Party and send us an RSVP.   And don't forget, take the Mead House Survey, we'd like to hear from you!     Join The Mead House Keyholder Club on Patreon to help support the show for as little as $2/month.
