“The people in attendance will be given four 2-oz. samples each hour over the course of 4 hours,” say the event organizers. “Then they will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite mead. This vote will decide the People’s Choice winner.”
They will announce the winner towards the end of the event. The winners will receive a drinking horn as a trophy. They’ll also have an opportunity to craft a commercial batch of their recipe, working with Forrest Chesvick at Good Buzz Brewing Co..
