7-5-16 Today we're talking with Mike Kiker, owner of Celestial Meads and Sassan Mossanen, general manger of Denali Brewing in Talkeetna, Alaska. This is a new thing, because Mike is selling Celestial Meads to Denali Brewing, and staying on as a mead-maester, to help them integrate the meads into their business, be an ambassador, and teach them how to make award-winning mead. There have been a lot of collaboration brews between meaderies and breweries, but so far as we know, this is the first time a meadery has been sold to a brewery. You won't want to miss this episode!

On Back to Basics, we're talking about backsweetening.  Join us at 9PM ET tonight!

Want to join the conversation, give us a call!! 803-443-MEAD (6323), or Skype us at meadwench (please friend me first and say you're a listener, I get tons of Skype spam), or tweet to @gotmeadnow.

If you want us to tackle your mead making questions, you can send us a question and we'll tackle it online!

Join us, 9PM Eastern Tuesday night!!
