Zymarium Meadery throws a Bee-Day bash this weekend with food, mead and (yes) bees

One of the brightest new(ish) spots on Mills Avenue has to be Zymarium Meadery. The combo brewery and taproom — the brainchild of owners Joe and Ginger Leigh — turns 2 this weekend and they’re throwing an intriguingly eccentric b-day bash (on National Bee Day, no less) to mark the occasion.

The affair kicks off at noon with a ticketed VIP hour, but if that ain’t your style, don’t worry because the party keeps going until midnight. Ten new meads will be poured, as well as the debut of new bottled barrel-aged varieties.

There will be food from Baba Yaga and Pizza Slut, tattooing on site from Ascension and maybe best of all, J&P Apiary is bringing some bees. Greet these winged wonders like the heroes they are.

1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 16, Zymarium Meadery, free.
