Hey KLOBBERS!
As the weather wasn't great for last month's meeting, Brian Stephens will be giving his presentation this Monday, February 16, 2026 @ 7:00pm over at Brewery Outré – 567 E Ransom St, Kalamazoo.
Liquid Gold: A Night of Meadmaking
You’ve brewed the beers. You’ve sipped the wines.
Now it’s time to meet mead — and this meeting might just change what you thought fermentation could be.
This month’s feature: an interactive presentation on meadmaking by Brian Stephens, a decorated brewer whose meads have taken home multiple competition medals. From delicate traditionals to bold fruit bombs, Brian will walk us through:
- How mead is made — from honey to glass
- What makes a mead medal-worthy
- Yeast, fermentation, aging, and flavoring techniques
- Tastings and Q&A to follow — come curious, leave inspired
Whether you’re a brewer looking to expand your craft or just want to sip something extraordinary, this is one of those rare meetings you’ll be kicking yourself for missing.
