2019 – Eat It & Liket It With Jesse Blanco

Mead is the world’s oldest drink consisting mainly of honey, water and yeast. It’s like making wine using honey instead of grapes. Aristotle wrote about it and Vikings downed it like water – what else are they going to do between conquering foreign lands? And we can just imagine the Knights of the Round Table enjoying mead in jewel-encrusted goblets. Mike and Juliana Tripka, owners of Bee-Town Mead & Cider in Old Town Bluffton, have just opened the first mead production facility in South Carolina. “This is been a 5 1/2 year quest. Because of the location here in Bluffton, we feel it’s a good draw,” says Mike. “We are listed as a production winery. Our focus will be on the Lowcountry, Charleston and Savannah.”
