Episode 87 – Beach Bee Meadery – Curtis Blodgett

This episode features Curtis Blodgett of Beach Bee Meadery.

Curtis began his journey by considering opening a distillery. He and his wife Madeleine met with distillers to understand the process and what was needed to get started. They completed a meeting with a rum distiller and to decided to visit a meadery that was close by. They never had mead and they were totally blown away. Curtis was familiar with making wine and brewing beer, but he wasn’t familiar with mead. He looked at Madeleine and said, “this is what I want to do”. The whole experience was life changing. We got to talk mead, cider, yeast, barrels and so much more.

Episode 84 – Green Bench Brewing Co. – Brian Wing

This episode features Brian Wing of Green Bench Brewing Co.

For Chris and Brian the partnership began as home brewers. The brewery opened in 2013, all along, mead and cider was in the plan. They honed their craft and built up a following with their beer. They enjoyed drinking cider and mead so much in Florida. However, craft mead and cider was not common. They introduced mead and cider to the Saint Petersburg faithful in 2015. We had a lively and spirted discussion about Cidercon 2022, apples, orchards and all that is Green Bench Brewing.
