IPSWICH — “I drive by you all the time and have never stopped in …”
What are you waiting for? Maybe National Mead Day?
Mead, thought to be the oldest known alcohol, is fermented honey — honey wine. Honey can be fermented on its own for a traditional-style mead or fermented with locally sourced fruits to make melomel meads.
At the 1634 Meadery, some fruit used comes from Ipswich’s Russell Orchards and Marini Farm. They, too, try to support small business.
In honour of National Mead Day (August 6), the 1634 Meadery will offer indoor and outdoor tasting flights, a science area with microscopes set up to view bees, wasps, flowers, and more, information to go about honey and bees, a free monarch butterfly egg giveaway (while they last), mead slushies, a chalk art area for kids, free varietal honey tasting, and free samples of Viking Victory Ice Cream made by Down River Ice Cream (21+) “and other surprise fun!”
Well-behaved children and dogs are welcome. The event runs at the Meadery on Short Street from noon to 6 p.m. on August 6.
