SEAFORD – On her day off, Kelley Coleman of Milford made it a point to stop in for the opening of the Brimming Horn Meadery’s new downtown Seaford location.
“Everyone is very excited to see this here,” said Ms. Coleman.
The new Seaford location at 106 Spring Street officially opened last Friday, augmenting Brimming Horn’s Milton location, which celebrates its sixth anniversary this year.
The Seaford site will serve in a similar capacity to the Milton property as a tasting room, showcasing the honey, yeast and water based alcohol beverage.
Seaford will be the main production facility, for both locations.
“Ninety percent of it will be here (Seaford),” said Brimming Horn founder/owner Jon Talkington. “We’re excited to be here.”
At the July 12, 2022 meeting, Seaford city council approved a lease agreement with Brimming Horn Meadery and its proposal presented by Mr. Talkington and business partner Robert “J.R.” Walker Jr.
Mr. Talkington at the council session said the hope is for the Seaford location to become a “regular hangout for friends, neighbours, and travellers to share drinks, music, and fun just like our Milton location.”
Making mead keeps bees busy.
“Mead is made from honey. Honey is the main fermentable,” Mr. Talkington said. “We add other things to it, but it has to be over 51% (honey) for mead.”
Several patrons were on hand at the noon opening Friday, May 26. They purchased samplers with various offerings.
Matt Behler, among the handful of employees at the Seaford site, explained the serving procedure.
“The way that we serve this is, we have all different kinds of flight sizes,” Mr. Behler said. “Once we know what size it is we take the meads that they want to try, and we put them in order from dry to sweetest. And the reason why we do that is because when you drink something that is really sweet, and then you try and drink something that is dry, you can’t taste it as well because the sweetness coats the palette.”
Mr. Talkington is the head mead-maker, Jenna Mica is assistant mead-maker and Mr. Walker is owner and business manager.
Brimming Horn has earned numerous awards for its mead.
Besides assorted types and flavors of mead, the business sells merchandise, including drinking horns, T-shirts and hats.
While food is not sold at the Brimming Horn, patrons are welcome to bring food in from other restaurants.
Open hours currently are noon to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
