On Beerland host Meg Gill's travels this week, she heads to San Diego to check out the local homebrew scene. There, she meets Meadiocrity Mead founders Andrew Segina, John Botica, and Mark Oberle, who want beer drinkers to know that mead is not just sickly sweet fermented honey juice. In fact, they think beer drinkers with discerning sensibilities and favorite styles and flavor profiles can find just the right mead for them, if they give it a chance.“A lot of people hear ‘mead’ and they hear ‘honey’ they think ‘sweet’ automatically, and they don’t even give it a try,” says Botica. “So I’d say if you haven’t tried mead, go try something. And if you don’t like the one you tried, try another one, because if you don’t like an IPA, there’s still other types and styles of beers out there you can enjoy.”See more of Meg’s exploration of mead in tonight’s episode of Beerland, tonight at 10 PM on VICELAND.
