810 Meadworks opened 10 years ago this month. 10 years. I'm very proud of that. Although, without many of you encouraging me over the years, I would have never made it past the 10 month mark. Unfortunately, year 10 will be our last. It's fitting that the tasting room made it 8 years and the mead production made it 10. A beautiful and unexpected conclusion, but all good things must come to an end eventually.
I still love making and sharing mead with people. But let's be honest, 810 Meadworks was never really about the mead. Its purpose was to give people a place to escape the world for a quick respite.Trying to recreate the beauty and magic that had existed at 810 Meadworks in Medina is futile. It was a perfect moment at the perfect time. It was just what we all needed. I know there are lasting friendships of all kinds that were sparked at that concrete bar. It was beautiful to watch all that happen. Since the tasting room has closed, things haven't been the same and selling alcohol has gotten tougher, mead even tougher. I don't envision that I'll ever quit making mead but the era of making mead for 810 is coming to an end. I'm sure for many of you 810 ended 2 years ago. For others it will never end. In either situation, my love for all of you has not changed. Thank you from the depths of my soul for supporting my business and family for the last 10 years.
We'll let you know next week some more information as to how you can buy some of the inventory we have remaining.
