Adam Daughhetee tells their tale, dating back thirty years to when the first batch of mead was crafted by his Uncle Brian Daughhetee. Fast forward to today, Adam and Brian now own a growing meadery that produces fine meads and ciders, hundreds of gallons at a time. They offer 19 selections in their taproom, distribution across the state, and online sales across the country. Adam shares how mead is made, what has fueled their growth, and how he uses their taproom as a unique customer feedback tool. Enjoy this unique blend of historic royalty and modern fellowship.
