Double Hopbeat: A Homebrewing Podcast

A judge might taste blackberry, honey, oak, and vanilla. Someone else might taste their childhood. That's the difference between making a great mead and creating an experience.

For this stop on the Brew Map, Shannon and James are talking with the 2026 Mead Maker of the Year, someone who believes every bottle has the potential to transport you somewhere meaningful. The duo head to Vermont to meet Kyle from Green Mountain Mead.

Thank you again to @greenmtnmead for joining the show!
