The Mazer Cup International 2009, was a roaring success with both Professional Meaderies and Home Mead Enthusiasts from around the world. It was apparent to all that the level of quality mead in the commercial mead industry is constantly getting better and better! Once again this classic competition will be focused on the best of Professional and Enthusiast mead makers.

If you've never tasted mead, you're missing out! Mead comes in a dazzling array of styles, flavours, and types that range from light and dry to full and rich with honey.

The MAZER CUP, was started by Ken Schramm, Dan McConnell and Mike O'Brien and quickly became the de-facto standard for mead competitions in North America and set the standard for all of the mead-only competitions that followed.

After a tremendously successful competition in 2009, and continued support from from the Mazer Cup founding fathers, Ken Schramm, Dan McConnell and Mike O'Brien, Gotmead.com is happy and excited to sponsor the Mazer Cup International 2010. We will do our best to continue the tradition of the original competition, and work to make it the best competition possible. We are committed to bringing the best judges available to Boulder, Colorado from North America, Europe and wherever else mead is held in high regard.

This year we will continue the tradition of the original Mazer Cup by awarding hand-crafted mazers to the winners of our home competition. Our distinctive medals for the commercial winners have already become a coveted achievement in the commercial mead making industry.

As always we do our best to bring you the best competition possible, and this year is no different. Our staff of volunteers come from all over North America and are a great team to work and share mead with. Our staff is growing along with the competition so take a moment to see our new member names listed below. We are looking forward to bringing you the best competition we can!

Competition Details

The competitions will be held in Boulder, Colorado, at the Boulder Outlook Hotel March 26 - 27, 2010.

We are now organizing our judging team and support staff, and will be contacting those who have helped with the Mazer Cup International 2009. There will be home and commercial competitions again this year with expanded commercial categories. We are committed to providing you the best of both worlds.

Thanks for your support!
