Best Ever Girls' Night Out at the New Day Meadery Tasting Room

Last Friday night was "Girls' Night Out" for me and two of my neighbors. We left the guys at home, put on our "we are looking really fine tonight" clothes, jumped into the GOING LOCAL mobile, and ventured down to Fountain Square for an evening at New Day Meadery's tasting room.

Once we settled down on the chic white leather sofas and were warmly greeted by meadery owners Tia Agnew and her husband Brett Canaday, we relaxed as Brett leisurely served us a flight of their meads and dry hard cider. As we sipped away admiring the beautiful interior of the room with its polished wood floor, pressed tin ceiling, exposed brick wall, and works from local artists, Brett provided a brief explanation of how mead is made, emphasized the meadery's focus on using only Indiana honey and fruits for their products, and provided us with a handout that included suggested food pairings.

We were so comfortable that it took every bit of energy we had to finally leave for dinner after we each purchased a bottle of our favorite mead. We were having such a good time that if not for our tummy clocks signaling an urgent need for a meal, we would have stayed right on those sofas all night.


If you haven't been there yet, add this venue to your summer must-do list. Tia and Brett have created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. And an affordable one--a flight with 8 tastings is a mere $5.00 per person. Perfect venue for a group of friends, a first date, or an "...isn't it about time we had an evening out?". 

Just one more thing, if you haven't tried mead lately and think it's that overly sweet thick wine from way back when...you are in for a real treat at New Day Meadery. Most of their meads are dry and all of them, and my friends agreed, are wonderful.
