Meadapolooza 2016

I recently attending a yearly mead tasting with friends, dubbed Meadapolooza.  This is just a private tasting with a group of friends, between 14-16 depending on year.  But we're all very much into mead and we like to bring out the big guns.  There's more honey water that could possibly be consumed in one night.  Originally on the list we had planned to open 58 bottles of mead and do a honey tasting with 15 different honey varietals.

We ended up getting through all 15 honeys and about 30 or 35 meads, which is impressive for 14 people in a few hours, considering the risks for diabetic shock.

In subsequent posts I'll detail my thoughts on some of the more interesting or themed meads we tasted, but for the time being , here's a kill shot of the majority of the stuff consumed.
