PRESERVING TRADITION. UNLEASHING IMAGINATION.
This is the foundation of every beer brewed at The Fermentorium. In name, Fermentorium essentially translates to “a place of fermentation.” And while Latin-ish sounding, honestly, it’s probably imagined. Regardless of Latin origin accuracy, something about the name stuck with founder, Kristopher Volkman.

Chocolate’s power of bringing people together fuels our passion for making the best chocolate in the world. Our name, Mayan in origin, says it all.

Mead is the first known alcoholic beverage consumed by mankind and is believed to predate wine by nearly three thousand years. Today, mead is often referred to as ‘honey wine’ because the process of making mead and wine are so similar. The key difference is the use of honey rather than grapes as a source of sugar. Jason has been making mead for about six years, but has racked up an impressive number of awards including the Mazer Cup Best of Show! Jason will be discussing modern mead making methodology, techniques and dispelling the old myths of mead making. Learn how to scale down batches, apply modern science and Jason’s techniques to make award winning mead yourself.
