JARED’S NOTE: One of my favorite craft beer finds isn’t beer at all. The B. Nektar Meadery from produces a first-rate range of meads and ciders from its home in Ferndale, Mich., just outside of Detroit. The Wife and I happen to love their work and Al Dente is devoting this week to reviewing the meadery’s six year-round offerings.

B. Nektar Meadery week has ended here at Al Dente, though we have plenty of reserves in the cellar to last us a month. Or maybe a few days, depending on how the weekend goes. If you missed any of the reviews, or are visiting us from Twitter/Reddit/Facebook/elsewhere, click on one of the labels to read all about it.
