The AMMA is pleased to announce the results of the first-ever National Mead Maker of the Year competition!
The purpose of this competition is not only to help spur even more participation in mead competitions, but to also motivate higher standards of mead making practices from amateur mead makers around the country.
The big announcement and awarding of prizes to the MeadMaker of the Year and the 1st and 2nd runners up will happen at the 2019 AMMA Annual Meeting at MeadCon in Broomfield, March 12, 2019. Winners will be contacted to arrange receipt of prizes.
Here are the top ten mead makers by points for 2018.
Congratulations to the winners, and to all of those who put your all into competing for the ultimate bragging rights in the mead world.
