About this episode

This episode explores the challenges and excitement of expanding Drinking Horn Meadery's distribution into Total Wine and New Mexico.

Behind-the0scenes of Expansion In this episode, Nick sits down with Drinking Horn co-founder Evan to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to get mead on big retail shelves and into new states. From the hard-fought journey into Total Wine to the exciting (and slightly nerve-wracking) wait for our first New Mexico order, this episode is a toast to the hustle behind the horn. Plus, don’t miss our mid-episode break where we drop some fun updates about upcoming events—including our Mead Madness bracket, Punk in the Park, the Olive Blossom Festival, and the fiery return of the Dragon Meads. It’s a mix of behind-the-scenes grit, upcoming mead-fueled mayhem, and a whole lot of laughs. Grab a glass and join us! After you take a listen, bee sure to let us know what you thought or any follow up questions you would like us to answer! Best, and certainly the most fun, way to do this? Leave us a voicemail and we will use it on the next episode! Just go to Speakpipe.com/drinkinghorn Nothing to download and super easy, just hit record and give us your mind!
