Beer Guys Radio | Craft Beer Podcast

Monks Meadery says there's a story in every drop Monks Meadery owner Justin Schoendorf started his business because the brewery scene was already "crowded" in Georgia with four breweries here, and he wanted to offer something different.  He started homebrewing beer in college and eventually migrated to meadmaking.  He enjoyed it, and so did his friends, and Georgia's first meadery was born. Schoendorf tells us exactly what mead is, we talk about the growth in popularity and availability, current mead trends, and Renaissance Festivals - Monks Meadery is the official mead of the Georgia Renaissance Festival, with a festival map on the can. (Pro tip.. he said his mead pairs perfectly with a roasted turkey leg.) Our beers (and meads) of the week...
