Awesome! Hell, if mead becomes mainstream, I'll have to find something else to do!
Nope, you just keep brewing what you like. And enjoy it. Just because it's becoming mainstream doesn't mean we should stop. I mean beer is mainstream and you still have home brewers that brew beer. You do it because you love it. And the chances of a comercial brewer doing the exact recipie that you have and have grown to like is very slim, unless you become that comercial brewer.

Certainly a good read......
And those who put money, time, effort and commitment to their mead making, all power and success to everyone....

Good article.... Maybe what mead needs is a 'superfood' reputation ...with lots of antioxidants.....pomegranate, or lycopene(?), or whatever.
Oh, I'd STILL make mead. My last batch of 14% ABV traditional backsweetened came out awesome. No way I'm giving this up.
But I WOULD have to find a non-mainstream hobby to replace the old non-mainstream hobby that had recently become mainstream. See?

Pick up straight razor shaving!
Hmmm... "Not animal, vegetable or mineral. Not even VEGANS can get pissy about it."
Yeah, I know, technically it is an animal product, but screw 'em. It'll be good for 'em. <G>
Ha. I had several incidents while learning but now they are few and far between and less severe when they do happen.
I also have a DE for when I don't have 30 min to shave. Almost as good as a straight.
The perfect shave kit. The brown color of the scuttle hides the blood. Lol.

My mum lives in San Diego, had some good mead there too. I guess what I mean is this is in national news, the bbc gets a pretty diverse audience.
p.s. shaving? Aren't MEN supposed to have BEARDS? tsk tsk tsk...
Here's another one that UKTony posted elsewhere. If you've never been to Portland, Maine, it's a great little town, and home to Shipyard Ale, a craft beer I had there once.

Ah, well you should remember, the BBC seems to have a good reputation for impartiality outside the UK, what with the diversity or the "World Service" and all that.
That's not to say that they aren't just producing a less slanted propoganda for the British Government here, on a number of subjects considered "sensitive".
Hence it doesn't "seem" to be as insular as many of the news outlets that emanate from the US..... I'm just not so sure about that......
And no, it's not national, it's international. while it might be focusing on US based mead makers, there's plenty of us "rank amateurs" here who will have found it of interest.......
Good luck to all the mazers who've been highlighted......
