Brewlihan is more than mead, cider, and wine. We place an immense value on the power of human interaction. Brewlihan is a place where most people at the bar are enjoying the company of others, rather than doom scrolling.
Iād call us a family, but itās cliche - and we arenāt nearly as dysfunctional. But, we take care of one another as if we were.
We share powerful moments with our guests. Celebrating new jobs and promotions, marriages and babies. Weāve also been a shoulder to cry on during challenging times.
Tyler, a longstanding member started bringing Kim in with him during Sophomore year (2022-23). It was pretty early into her joining him that we realized we were watching the first scenes of a friendship that was blossoming into a relationship. Kimās been a part of the family ever since.
Kim is a radiant, intelligent young lady. Kimās been fighting Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) for quite some time and has amassed medical bills and travel expenses in her attempts to find solutions.
We want to help Kim, so Tyler and I collaborated on a mead in her honor. Dynamic Instability, aptly named by Kim to match just one of many symptoms she faces due to her condition.
Doing the initial research, I had never heard of Elhers Danlos Syndrome. So Tyler and I decided to go with a rather unknown and infrequently used blend of honey varietals.
We started with Western Buckwheat, known for its depth of caramel, molasses and toffee flavors. We aged the base in a second use small format bourbon barrel for a few months and then backsweetened with Carrot blossom (Iād like to think Kimās Red hair influenced that call).
Weād love to show Kim the power of our community. Join us on Saturday May 23 for our bottle release of Dynamic Instability. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Kimās Go Fund Me.
Weāll be selling raffle tickets for a two person private tour complete with barrel tasting. No limit on the number of tickets purchased. All proceeds will be donated. Last, but certainly not least - we will also be donating a percentage of sales from the day as well. Weāll have on site serving up delicious food all day!
