Ep 28: Brad Dahlhofer of B. Nektar Meadery

Hello, and welcome to the BeerWise podcast, I’m your host, Mark DeNote, and I am the editor of Florida Beer News.

 This episode, I am joined by Brad Dahlhofer of B Nektar Meadery. 

 In 2008, Brad and his wife Kerri had both been laid off from their jobs and were enjoying Brad’s homemade mead when they decide to go all in on the idea of opening a craft meadery. Brad and Kerri’s ideas continued to evolve and morph until B. Nektar’s deep blue bottles were introducing new audiences to mead all over the Midwest and leapfogging a few states into my home state of Florida. 

Brad talks about the early days of B. Nektar, why he and Kerry decided to go all in on mead, the world’s oldest, yet widely forgotten beverage. How he began to build a meadery and how much diligence and luck it took the team to get where they are today.
