Hello, and welcome to the BeerWise podcast, I'm your host, Mark DeNote, and I am the editor of Florida Beer News. This episode, I am joined by Brad Dahlhofer of B Nektar Meadery. In 2008, Brad and his wife Kerri had both been laid off from their jobs and were enjoying Brad's homemade mead when they decide to go all in on the idea of opening a craft meadery. Brad and Kerri's ideas continued to evolve and morph until B. Nektar's deep blue bottles were introducing new audiences to mead all over the Midwest and leapfogging a few states into my home state of Florida. Brad talks about the early days of B. Nektar, why he and Kerry decided to go all in on mead, the world's oldest, yet widely forgotten beverage. How he began to build a meadery and how much diligence and luck it took the team to get where they are today. You can listen to the podcast online here or on your favorite podcast platform.

CRAFT BEER PODCAST INFO: Brad and Kerri started B. Nektar as a side gig to take Brad's passion of meadmaking and turn it into something fun and different. But since 2008 the ebbs and flows of life have caused them to constantly have to audible their lives, their business plans, and what will happen in the future. Brad talks about historical ingredient supply issues, changing his business plan from side gig to full time, and how he reacts when the market is in constant flux. As a business owner this is a great episode to learn how to stay calm, go with the flow, and being open to adjustments has lead to the success that is B. Nektar. We talk about different state laws for shipment and distribution and how it has effected their products too.

7-2-19 Tonight at 7PM EST, we're doing a live, ON LOCATION broadcast of GotMead Live from B. Nektar Meadery in Ferndale, MI. Our guests will be Kerri Dalhofer, co-owner, and Miranda Johnson, Marketing Director/Event Magician/Ambassador of Buzz. We're celebrating the release of the first collaboration with GotMead, Cherry Pi (with crust)! This mead is based on Vicky's grandma's cherry pie recipe, her favorite pie as a child, and one made with Michigan cherries that Vicky would pick herself as she worked in the orchards in her first job. We will be talking about B. Nektar's meads, and what they're up to, how they get their recipe ideas, and where they're going next. For those who don't know the story, B. Nektar, currently one of the largest meaderies in the US, was started in 2006, originally as a 'part time' meadery, while Brad and Kerri worked their day jobs. However, a series of unfortunate job cutbacks resulted in both of them being laid off, and they found themselves going full time right out of the gate. Obviously, they had a great plan with the meadery, because since the start in 2006, B. Nektar has risen to the top of US meadery production, and continues to make great mead cider and beer. Kerri owns B. Nektar with Brad, and is the creative soul of B. Nektar, the brains behind the design and creation of all their labels and product names. That creativity has made B. Nektar labels instantly recognizable. Miranda originally came from the music industry as a freelance publicist and applied to become some supporting feature on the administrative side for B. Nektar in Feb of 2015, and got hired essentially as Brad's assistant. She kept on taking on whatever she needed to at B. Nektar, and ended up being the Ambassador of Buzz at the meadery, and handles sales and production things, their social media platform, PR, taproom, and the Spring and Summer Mead fetivals, she's a Jill of all trades. And yes, she's even cleaned the bathrooms (just like meadery owners have to mop the floors). Join us and hang out! This player will show the most recent show, and when we're live, will play the live feed. If you are calling in, please turn off the player sound, so we don't get feedback. Click here to see a playable list of all our episodes!

Episode 40: Rick wants to do an accent but he doesn't want to offend anyone so he wonders which accents are considered "racist" or "wrong" for your average middle-aged white guy to do. Irish? Italian? Indian? Chinese? Speak to us, listeners! (In your favorite accent, of course.) Cheri takes an HIV test and isn't sure she studied hard enough for it. She reveals the results on the show. Rick watches a very heavy documentary and plays a time-wasting game and enjoys both of them. Our Live Beer Review turns out to not be a beer at all but Zombie Killer Cider by B Nektar. Oops.
This week we record on location at B Nektar in Ferndale, Michigan. B Nektar hit their 10th anniversary this week and wanted to throw a huge party to celebrate.

We play musical chairs in the guest seat as we talk with some new friends (Benjamin & Erlend from Norway), as well as some people we've known for quite a while and some who have been on the show before. Thank you to B Nektar for hosting us. And a special thanks to all of our guests and assistants for making this a great time.

Sean Patrick Webster brought this unique business plan to the table just a short time ago and has already made quite a splash in the alcohol industry and is supporting some of the biggest names in craft beer and spirits. Plus, he's a blast, so he fit right in with the Pigs and it didn't take too long before we derailed into shenanigans in this one. So much fun, we ended up running about an extra 20 minutes for your listening(and our drinking) pleasure. We reviewed some fine beverages tonight such as Arcadia Ales beautiful Barrel Aged Shipwreck Porter, O'Fallon's refreshing Wheach, some delicious rhubarb delight from Moonlight Meadery, and the gloriously smooth corn whiskey from The Indiana Whiskey Company. We talk about the Indiana Whiskey Whisker Competition, but sorry folks, the contest has ended... but Blind Pig, Dougy Fresh did take home a great gift package for being runner up. Congrats to our buddy down south, Mr. Joshua Lakins of the Twisted Crew Brewing Company for taking home the gold in that one and a life supply of whiskey. (We'll be back to visit soon!! Line em' up!) Sean tells us about some of his humble beginnings into the beer industry, such as the time he spent in the legendary Heorot Pub and Draught House in Muncie, IN. Pat gives us too much detail about a recent physical, and guest co-host, Chris Burch, explains his love for Christmas and all its miracles, and we get a review from Riley of the Pig Pen.
