Honey War 2010
June 18-20, 2010
Once again there seems to be a buzz coming from the North. The bees are beginning to let us know of things they have heard. It would seem that last year about this time there was a plan afoot to thwart the fighters of Glymm Mere in a mighty war. Glymm Mere’s neighbors to the North, who swore that they were friends to our fine barony, were attempting to conspire with the very bees that create the fine honey for which Glymm Mere is well known. The bees, being loyal to Glymm Mere and her mighty Baron and lovely Baroness, cunningly played along until the time was right. Then, during the height of Honey War, the bees showed Blatha an Oir their wrath. Being gentle bees and knowing that Baron Godric and Baroness Kara would not want any true harm to come to their cousins or their cousin’s populace, they simply showed themselves and made their displeasure known.
Come and join us for a battle between Glymm Mere and Blatha an Oir in a war where all can contribute! Join us in support of your favorite barony!

Brewing –1
Contestants will be judged on:
Clarity, color and texture: Does the brew look like it's supposed to look?
Taste: Does the brew taste like it’s supposed to taste? For example:
A dry blackberry mead should not be overly sweet, and should have
hints of both the blackberry and the honey, not having either one
overwhelm the other.
Presentation: Is the brew in a period looking container or an overly
modern one? If it’s in a modern container, document why you chose
that container over a more period one.
Documentation: At the very least, what is it, who made it and a
simple list of ingredients (don’t give us the recipe! That’s your
secret). Is the recipe period, how long did it take to make, anything
interesting you learned, etc.
Please drop off your entries at the A&S pavilion!
