The results are in! The Iron Bee 2021 is over, and we have some incredible submissions to talk about. But first, a big thank you to Matt Weide, a long time friend of the Mead House, also a BJCP certified mead judge, for assisting in the judging off all the meads that were submitted.
The secret ingredient this year was Passionflower, sponsored by a long time
supporter of the Iron Bee, Mountain Rose Herbs. Also, Ryan leads the discussion in the Braggot Shootout category where some surprising braggots made the awards table. Matt sticks around for the whole show and tackles a few questions in the Social Club.
And make sure you tune in to next week’s episode, we have a very important announcenent to make!
