Thank you to everyone who attended and bid on items in the silent auction and/or participated in the mead tasting. Thank you to our volunteers who kept the event running smoothly, our mead servers for keeping glasses filled, and Jennifer Rudolph for catering. And a big thank you to A2B2's leadership team: Mike Nardelli, Michelle Scott, Cindy Schroeder, Lee Walsh, Jen Haeger, Vicky Rudolph, and David Clipner. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Ann Arbor Backyard Beekeepers Club presents its 4th Annual Holiday Gala!  It will feature a silent auction and mead tasting, along with a presentation on mead ​by Lauren Bloom & Matt Ritchey, owners of Bløm Meadworks (Ann Arbor, MI). Admission to the Gala and silent auction is FREE; mead tasting is $15 for five one-ounce pours, and includes a keepsake engraved wine glass. Appetizers will be provided.

"At Bløm Meadworks (pronounced “bloom”), we make what we like to call session meads and ciders – they’re light, dry, carbonated, and remarkably sessionable. For our meads, we start with the same ingredients as a traditional mead - honey, water and yeast - which means we can source all of our ingredients from Michigan. Unlike most meads though, we ferment it like a dry craft cider, so the result isn’t nearly as thick or sweet as traditional mead. So, if the word “mead” automatically conjures a drinking hall filled with Vikings for you, think of ours as its friendly, approachable descendants, without the pillage and plunder."  Learn more at http://www.drinkblom.com/.

This event is the club's primary fundraiser of the year.  Please join us to sample a selection of meads from a dozen craft producers (including Bløm), learn about mead from the experts, and finish up your Christmas shopping (or buy yourself a little something!) at the silent auction.
