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.

Here are some pics from the following Wednesday night over at Ken Schramm's house. We judged 9 metheglins. Monica's interview was airing that night so it was tough to concentrate on our work! Fortunately, Ken's wife kept us updated.

The final day of judging. We judged four flights of melomels. After that we broke off for pizza and a couple Sierra Nevada Pale Ales. Sure was good to have something with malt and hops in it! Then it was back to the grind. We judged the melomel mini BOS and finished up with the Best of Show.
