Special mead release: an incredible version of Port of Call aged 2 years!
Food from Kraftwich food truck
Cake from Sweet Harmony on Main Street in Middletown
Delicious meads & meadtails (as always)
Here's Talon's description of Port of Call 2024: "This round is a little different than the last one (in 2022). When I bottled Port Of Call in July of 22, I immediately filled that barrel and another rye bourbon barrel, too. Yesterday, I blended those two barrels back into one batch. 2 years old already. Why blended? Well, the idea is that the flavor should be more rounded with the OG Port Of Call barrel offering softer wooden tones and the fresh rye bourbon barrel offering that sharp bourbon infused goodness."
Great mead. Great books. The best people.
Casual book club, everyone is welcome. Our book this month is called Into The Water by Paula Hawkins.
We're switching things up this month. Please come with ideas for next month's book club book. We will draw a book out of a hat!
