The celebratory event will boast four proper pours of Upper Reach traditional high-ABV meads, an alcoholic beverage composed of honey, water, and yeast that is often mixed with different fruit and spices to create various flavors. Alongside the stronger libations is a selection of Weekend Water, an all-new organic premium honey spritzer from Upper Reach Meadery. Devil’s Den’s talented kitchen staff is whipping up four small plates to pair with the mead flights.
Mead Me at the Den will take place in Devil’s Den’s expansive dining room and costs $30 per ticket—available for purchase. Adam Crockett, Owner and Head Mazer of Upper Reach Meadery, will host the event and guides attendees through the history of mead, as well as the unique and delicious offerings, including the following:
