The conversation today is part of an ongoing partnership with the US Small Business Administration highlighting small businesses in the Shenandoah Valley as well as offering advice and resources to all small businesses. In this episode, host Janet Michael and co-host Carl Knoblock, Virginia District Director for the SBA dive into the importance of early planning for small businesses, particularly for festive events like Black Friday and the December holidays. Janet emphasizes that small businesses often get too caught up in daily operations and miss out on early preparations, leading to missed opportunities. Carl concurs, adding that many small businesses fail to recognize the need to start preparations well in advance to attract customers during peak seasons. They discuss the tendency of small businesses to underestimate consumer behavior patterns, noting that unlike small business owners, consumers do not always wait until the last minute for holiday shopping. Carl brings up an interesting point about bus tours and the older generation, who plan their shopping trips well in advance and are a lucrative market for unique, local products. The conversation then shifts to the Virginia 250th anniversary celebrations and the various opportunities it presents for small businesses and local communities. Carl reveals that there are federal funds and grants available for businesses to develop products and events tied to the celebrations. They emphasize the importance of communities collaborating to host events that can attract tourism and boost local economies. In the latter part of the episode, Janet touches upon the significance of self-promotion for small businesses. Many business owners shy away from nominating themselves for awards or promoting their community-driven efforts, which Carl believes is a missed opportunity. He explains that recognition through awards can generate free marketing and increase business. He reminds listeners that nominations are currently open for Small Business Person of the Year on the SBA website. Click here for details. Nominees from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam will compete for the title of the National Small Business Person of the Year, SBA's signature award. One from each will be selected. Nominees must demonstrate success in business as well as contributions to their local communities. Previous award winners include Superstition Meadery, Landmark Pest Management, Maui Brewing Company, Equator Coffee & Teas, Pacifica, and Missouri Star Quilt Company. The deadline for submission is December 5, 2024, at 4pm ET. National Small Business Week is May 4-10, 2025. They talk extensively about data collection, especially the importance of tracking customer information such as zip codes. This data can provide valuable insights into where a business's customer base is located and help in targeted marketing efforts. Carl advises small businesses to utilize interns or marketing resources to analyze this data for better decision-making. They also discuss the value of having a dedicated website for a business, separate from social media accounts. While social media can be a powerful tool, a business website provides credibility and a platform for professional engagement. Wrapping up, the episode calls for small businesses to plan their marketing strategies well in advance and utilize all available resources for effective promotion. They encourage businesses to be proactive, leverage local tourism events, and not hesitate to seek recognition for their contributions to the community.

Jeff Herbert is the Co-founder of Superstition Meadery in Prescott, Arizona. He and his wife, Jennifer, built the meadery from scratch into one of the highest-rated beverage producers in the country. Jeff earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Arizona State University and spent most of his career as a firefighter for the Phoenix Fire Department. When he was still years from retirement and his wife also had a full-time job, the pair went headfirst into the world of mead. In 2019, the Small Business Administration recognized Jeff and his wife as the Small Business Persons of the Year. In this episode with Jeff Herbert How can a retired firefighter shift his career and open a meadery? For today's guest, it started by homebrewing for friends — which eventually led to something greater. Alongside his wife, Jeff Herbert leads the world's first mead and food pairing restaurant in downtown Phoenix. Their mission is to reintroduce the world's oldest fermented beverage to humankind. How did they grow the brand, and how do they continue innovating? In today's episode of the Legends Behind the Craft podcast, Drew Thomas Hendricks and Bianca Harmon are joined by Jeff Herbert, Co-founder of Superstition Meadery, as he talks about his career redirection after serving as a firefighter for 20 years. Jeff also proudly shares what it was like opening the world's first mead and food pairing restaurant, the challenges he faced, and how he continues to build the brand.
Hard ciders are a fast-growing segment of the beverage universe. Made from many different types of apples and in a multitude of styles, they are naturally gluten free which further broadens their appeal. We have tried a few over the years starting in 2010 with Samuel Smith's Organic Cider and most recently we had the Blueberry Spaceship Box from Superstition Meadery. It is a category we really enjoy that we intend on exploring more. We will make good on that intention this week as we will be trying the Prickly Pearadise Prickly Pear Cider from 2 Towns Ciderhouse. This cider is made with a fusion of NW apples and prickly pear cactus fruit. It is available year round and has an ABV of 5.3%. What do you think?

A few months back we tried and very much enjoyed a cider from Superstition Meadery located in Prescott, Arizona. Andrew has had a few things from them but the one we had was Lemonade in Retrograde which was fermented with lemons, honey and hops. It was delicious and scary-easy to drink at 13.5% ABV. For this week's show we return to Superstition Meadery but we are going to see what magic they can do with a cider. We will be trying the Blueberry Spaceship Box cider which is made with a blend of tart apples and semi-sweet blueberries. It comes in at 5.5% ABV and costs anywhere from $14 to $19 for a 750ML bottle. Their website says that it is the top rated cider in the world on Ratebeer.com and also on Untapped. Who knows but maybe someday their site will mention AboutBeverages.com and how we feel about one of their products. What did we think? What do you think?

The past year or so we have found ourselves frequently venturing into previously uncharted territory (for us) on the beverage map in our ongoing attempt to have a more thorough appreciation of the beverage world. One of the categories that is relatively new to us is mead, which we first tried on a show in the autumn of 2020. We tried two offerings from Artivem Mead Company and they were both delicious! Recently, Andrew was given another bottle of mead from a different company and that is what we will be sharing with you on this show. We will be trying the Lemonade in Retrograde Mead from Superstition Meadery located in Prescott, Arizona. Coming in at 13.5% ABV, this is made with lemons and citra hops and definitely has our curiosity piqued. What did we think? What do you think?

Mead is the focus of this episode as Matt and Bryan are joined by beer afficionado Jonathan. They pair this ancient style of booze with their modern proclivity for booziness as they taste mead from some of the most renowned producers in the US. #edenciders #boilerbrewing #moonlightmeadery #schrammsmeadery #eviltwinbrewing Bee Flustered - 3:40 Eden Ciders: Bee Flustered (2014 Harvest) Limited Edition Heirloom Blend ice cider aged in Superstition Meadery cherry mead rye whiskey barrels METHOD: Naturally cold-concentrated before fermentation in our Vermont winter weather. Arrested fermentation leaves residual sweetness. Ice cider made from heirloom apple varieties and aged 6 months in 2 barrels from Superstition Meadery - originally rye whiskey barrels that they used to aged their cherry mead. APPLE VARIETIES: Esopus Spitzenberg, Calville Blanc, Hudson's Golden Gem, Roxbury Russet, Blue Pearmain, Baldwin, Mcintosh, Empire, Ashmead's Kernel, Black Oxford, Reine de Reinette, Orleans TASTING NOTES: Tart cherry, baking spice, oloroso Meadow Foam - 11:10 Boiler Brewing: Meadow Foam Meadowfoam is a wildflower native to the Pacific Northwest whose flowers resemble foam in the ocean. But more importantly, the bees that feed from it create a rare honey that tastes like Marshmallow and Vanilla. So, we present to you Meadowfoam Mead! Three ingredients: Meadowfoam Honey, yeast, and water. The result is mead that is sweet and decadent with a Vanilla and Marshmallow character; perfect for your inner Marshmallow character! Cherry Decadent - 18:30 Moonlight Meadery: Cherry Decadent Cherry melomel that rested on a bed of roasted cacao. Over a lb of roasted cacao per gallon. Marionberry - 30:00 Schramm’s: Marionberry Marionberry is a melomel made purely from Willamette Valley Marion Blackberries. Like our ‘Blackberry’, Marionberry has a full, natural fruit acidity that is balanced by premium Orange Blossom honey sweetness to create an extremely flavorful mead. Very dark in color, the Marionberries provide a jammy, juicy fruit-forward character. This mead has great aging potential for many years, though it’s pure fresh fruit character may make it difficult to leave alone for long. Marionberry: blackberry developed by the USDA ARS breeding program in cooperation with Oregon State University. A cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' varieties. It is the most common form of blackberry cultivated and accounts for over half of all blackberries produced in Oregon. Red, Black and Blue Bomb - 36:40 Boiler Brewing: Red, Black & Blue Bomb Red Raspberry, Black Raspberry, and Blueberry. Pre-game = Evil Twin, Raspberry Jelly Donut Even More Jesus.

This week, I have another amazing book I recommend you all read. It's called, "Many Lives, Many Masters" by Brian L. Weiss. An astonishing short book to read. I got a lot of clarity from it. It gives you a perspective on life, how to value every day of it, and how to live it to the fullest. It's important to note, this book was recommended by one of my Co-workers from Superstition Meadery, so I accept their request. I have always enjoyed reading other people's books/audios. Some are even passed down to me. They are usually great learning curves for me. So if you have a suggestion of your own for me to read and listen to moving forward, then direct message me on social media or send a private message to my email jharman0619@gmail.com.

While technically considered wine, mead has long had a stronger affinity with the world of beer and home brewing than it has with the wine world, and the growth of flavor-forward ingredient-laden meads has in many ways mirrored the rise of similarly-designed craft beers. Superstition Meadery, in Prescott, Arizona, has been one of the leaders in that new-school approach, stretching the definition of mead and widening the relevance of one of the world’s oldest fermented beverages. Inspired by innovation in the craft beer space, and in the culinary world, they’ve brought flavors and approaches to the mead world that excite and delight, from white chocolate-inspired fine bottled meads to milkshake meads in cans. In this episode, Jeff Herbert (who founded and owns the brewery with his wife Jennifer) walks through the steps that brought them to where they are today—early homebrewing, mead inspiration, technical evolution, and current innovation. He walks through their approach to quality, testing concepts, solving the mead making problem of time, healthy fermentations, honey flavor and mechanics, yeast management in the meadery, methods of adding fruit, improving extraction efficiency, fine tuning fruit expression for complexity, the impact of aging, and more. As brewers and craft beverage drinkers stretch out and explore adjacent fermentations, mead is increasingly finding its place in their repertoire. Herbert makes a great case for its relevance, driven by a creativity, enthusiasm, and ambition that you can hear in his voice.

10-29-19 We're back after a break due to some scheduling conflicts. Tonight we're talking with Sergio Moutela, owner of Melovino Meadery and President of the American Mead Makers Association. He is also the guy who created the TOSNA protocol for mead making which he hosts on Mead Made Right. And he's launched a mead podcast that is excellent. which you can listen to on the MMR website. You can tell Sergio has been up to a lot of mead stuff, and he never seems to slow down. We're not even sure he sleeps! Melovino is possibly the fastest growing meadery in the country, and was the first meadery in New Jersey. This year was 5 years open, and Sergio now has a Mead Bar where he serves a constantly rotating list of session meads. Much to the chagrin to those of us who can't get up there to try them, lol. You can't get these shipped, they are Mead Bar only offerings. Sergio is also active in working to change alcoholic beverage laws in NJ, and has been instrumental in getting his state to change the laws to make it easier for meaderies to start and operate. One of the fun things he's been doing is trying lots of interesting recipes, many of which end up on the Mead Made Right recipe database. He has a pretty good (and in some ways twisted) imagination and comes up with a lot of really tasty meads. They're certainly flying out of the meadery and off the shelves! Tonight we're going to talk about pyments, beer style meads, weirdomels and recipe creation, and also about a couple surprises! Join us to check it out. See you tonight!

10-8-19 We're talking tonight with Adam Crockett, owner of Haymaker Meadery. Before starting Haymaker in 2015, Adam worked in the barrel industry for 4 years selling barrels to breweries, wineries, and meaderies all over the US and Canada. He has worked with large breweries like Allagash and Jolly Pumpkin and small local breweries in every corner. He has worked directly with distilleries and wineries to provide the best barrels available. He has helped many breweries build up their barrel program and has helped a number of breweries win GABF medals because of his barrel knowledge. He hopes to share his knowledge that he has collected and help meaderies and meadmakers take the step into barrel aging meads. Haymaker does a number of barrel aged meads. In this talk we will cover barrel aging mead, he will talk about barrels, oak alternatives, preparing barrels for homebrewers and what to expect from certain barrels. Adam has also been working with 'Pét Nat' meadmaking. 'Pét Nat' is short for Pétillant Naturel. Pét-Nat is produced in the méthode ancestral, otherwise known as “rurale,” “artisanale,” or “gaillacoise.” Long story short, the wine is bottled prior to fully completing its first fermentation, allowing carbon dioxide to be produced by the natural sugars found in the grapes. The méthode ancestrale was originally used in Limoux in the south of France in the early 16th century by winemaking monks. This production method is contrary to the méthode champenoise, the way in which Champagne is produced, where the base wine is fully fermented, then undergoes a secondary fermentation in bottle with the addition of yeast and sugar (otherwise known as liqueur de tirage.) Unlike Champagne, Pét-Nat is not disgorged, and may or may not be filtered on completion of fermentation. Adam will be telling us about his efforts with Pét Nat, and how it's working for mead.

9-24-19 - Tonight we're back in mead building mode, and have Ryan back to talk about picking the yeast and honey and other ingredients to achieve specific flavor profiles. We all have the flavors and tastes we like, and it's different for everyone. Too much for one is not enough for another. Yeast and honey contribute a fair amount to what you end up with, and what you start with may not be where your mead finishes, flavor-wise. There are tons of ideas out there: fermenting temperatures, to stir or not to stir, what to add at what point in the fermentation, like fruit in primary or secondary, spices in primary or secondary, toss in spices whole/crushed, do them as tea, or as extracts or tisanes. How long do you leave them in, and how to figure out what it will end up as? We're going to talk about what/when/why, and how you can get your mead to have the flavors you'd like it to end up with. Join us on the show, and on the chat, and if you've something you'd like us to work on, let us know! This player will show the most recent show, and when we're live, will play the live feed.

(NSFW) This week we talk about how two of the craftsmen joined the Superstition Meadery guild membership. Then how they have to pay back the borrowed money from a loan shark. But, they are going to flush with mead though! Nate is a tad disappointed with the Wren House Saguaro Society swag. We then discuss which one of the Wren's releases was our favorite over the past year. A Thrillist list of most underrated breweries brings some heat on who belongs on the top of those lists. We go over a few standout items that we saw for events in the AZ beer week 2019. Such as Meet Me in the Pit event at Irene's Tap room where Rowley Farm House Ales versus Dark Sky Brewing go head to head . Where we will be podcasting from, and talking to both brewers. AZ Wilderness is opening their new facility to the general public for a two bottle release, and popping some bottles from their cellar. The HCPC crew is going to Strong Beerfest to cause some mayhem in the festival. We invent a toilet stove combo, so you never have to leave your kitchen. You are welcome listeners! We talk about this thing called flagship February. Which in turns into what are flagship beers from each of the local places.

7-24-18 Tonight we're talking with Justin LeVaughn, who is the Quality Assurance and Quality Control Officer at Ethereal Brewing in Lexington, KY. Justin does the microbiological and sensory analysis there, and maintains their yeast stocks. Justin started home brewing beer about 10 years ago in college, and combined his formal biology training with the hobby. He fell into the mead world about 4-5 years ago, and was hooked. His main passions are carbonated session meads and metheglins, but he regularly brews big fruit and spice meads. He loves experimenting with weird flavor combinations, and setting up trails with different flavors. Currently he is planning mixed-fermentation trials in meads and cysers. Ethereal Brewing first opened its doors about 4 years in the iconic Distillery District in Lexington Kentucky. Ethereal focuses on variety of styles, most notably French and Belgian beer styles, as will as mixed-culture fermentations. Ethereal's motto is blending the lines between art and science, being a small microbrewery that combines the processes of scientific inquiry with the artisanal craft of brewing.

(NSFW) This episode the guys head to Prescott AZ to sit down and talk with Jeff Herbert of Superstition Meadery. Aside from Jeff’s unbelievable hospitality, we sit down and talk about making world class mead in the relatively tiny city in central AZ. Join us as we talk about crazy ingredients, labeling, the difference between making beer vs. making mead. Superstition’s popularity around the globe and what’s in store for the future. Mr. Herbert is seriously nothing short of amazing, listen in and find out how a mild-mannered Phoenix firefighter discovered his calling for Mead, and try to figure out how he does it (while remaining a full-time Phoenix firefighter).

1-23-18 We're continuing talking with AMMA speakers, and tonight we have Jeff Herbert, meadmaker and owner at Superstition Meadery, who is stepping in for Carlos Bassetti, who can't make it tonight. Carlos is speaking at the conference about Superstition's leap from 60 gallon batches to 1000 gallon batches. He's also an amazing meadmaker, with some very unique ideas. We're going to get an overview of his talk, and then pick Jeff's brains on his mead making ideas and techniques. We're also going to have Chris Kuzme, who is putting on the NY Fermentation Fest, which this year will have several meaderies represented. This event is about all things fermented, so there will be beer, wine, mead, cider, saurkraut, kombucha, and there will be all sorts of yummy food. Chris is going to tell us about the event. He's an excellent brewer, and has a brewer in NYC, and is married to Mary Izett, author of "Speed Brewing" who we had on the show back in August. Listen in live below!!
