RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Black Heath Meadery in Richmond will hold a grand finale event to celebrate its 10-year anniversary.
The "Celebration of Collaboration" grand finale event will take place from 1 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 24 at the Black Heath Meadery taproom, located at 1313 Altamont Avenue, and will feature nine unique honey-based collaborations.
According to a spokesperson for the meadery, six of these collaborations were crafted with breweries and cideries in Richmond, which are Buskey Cider, Brainstorm Brewhouse, Anytime Beer Company, The Answer, Ardent Craft Ales and Väsen Brewing Company.
The other three mead collaborations were created with Black Heath Meadery's out-of-town partners, Manic Meadery, Columbia Meadery and Unpossible Mead.
The spokesperson said each collaboration is a "tribute to the artistry of fermentation, celebrating honey’s versatility in brewing and meadmaking" and is a rare opportunity only available at this event.
River City Wood Fire Pizza will also reportedly be on site for the event to serve wood-fired pizzas.
"This event is a true reflection of the partnerships that have helped shape us over the past decade," said Bill Cavender, owner and head meadmaker at Black Heath. "We're honored to celebrate our 10-year milestone with the friends, makers, and community that have fueled our passion and progress."
Additionally, Black Heath Meadery will host a special collaboration dinner at its production facility located at 2004 Dabney Road from 4 to 7 p.m. on Saturday.
According to the spokesperson, the evening will feature an open-fire feast prepared by Two Fire Table and Autumn Olive Farms, where guests will enjoy some of Virginia’s finest seasonal produce and meats, cooked over an open flame.
