I was excited to sit down (again, IYKYK) with Erik Newquist, creator of Aesir Meadery. Mead, not "meat" as it's often misheard at farmers markets is alcohol made with honey. It's an extremely important part of our ecosystem and helps support the bees and our farmers.

Learn more about science, the alcohol industry, and some of the rabbit holes we go down with Erik's colorful history.

Stay tuned after the outro for some fun pre-recording hilarity.
