Meads/Ciders

[dmclone]

If you want to try something different, I’d recommend trying out a mead or cider. B. Nektar just came into Iowa in the last 6 months and offer some great options. They also have great names and labeling. On the downside, they are usually a little expensive. I’ve like Zombie Killer, Tuco Style Freakout, and Stupid man suit. I didn’t love The Dude’s Rug but I had to try it.

On the central Iowa scene, I just got back from a place called Buzzed Bee Meadery. They have VERY limited hours but it’s a cool place to check out and great people that run it. It’s like a wine tasting place where they serve you free samples of everything they have. The location is out in the country about 40 minutes from Des Moines in Melbourne.

Just be warned that a lot of the meads run 12%+ but the ciders are usually 1/2 that.

There is a new ciderworks south of Council Bluffs in Glenwood, Sacreligious Ciderworks... I haven’t been there yet, but am planning on going to check them out. Will report back when I do.

Buzzed Bee is great. I like their jalapeño mead and the cinnamon one.

Madison county cidary is the best.

Arizona has one of the top rated Meaderies in the world. Superstion Meadery. They ship to 30ish states and I think Iowa is one of them. They make a peanut butter & jelly mead that is out of this world. It honestly tastes like a liquid pb&j sandwich. They also make a blueberry cider that is the highest rated hard cider in the world. Worth trying if you have the money to spend on it.

Highly recommend mead, I first tried it after playing Skyrim and I’ve been hooked ever since.

I gave a friend of mine a great big Ale horn and a bottle of this stuff, this past Christmas

He was not disappointed.

I have a buddy who makes his own beer and his wife keeps bees so it was inevitable that he would eventually take some of her honey and make mead. He gave me a 6 pack of it and it was awesome.
