A tip of the hat to those who helped make the Æthelmearc bar at Pennsic LII a success.

Lord Casimir Zeleny z Strasna skala kindly shared this Juniper Mead recipe for the September Beverage of the Month. There's plenty of detail for you to try it as well!

Upcoming events: Harvest Raid, Haunting in the Hollows, Brew U

The August Beverage of the month comes from Daven MacKennaugh from the Barony of the Endless Hills.

If you want to find historically accurate wines to have with your medieval feasts, just look to Tuscany!

This Ice Dragon entry by Robert of Ferness used whole-grain malts, home-grown hops, family-produced honey, and cask aging to produce a dark, strong bragot.

Braggots have well-established roots in period, particularly during the 14th century. If you look at the modern judging criteria, a braggot falls into the mead category. I reject this. Historically a braggot is a beer made with honey added.
