Put That In My Horn: Drinking Culture and the Renaissance Faire - Part 2 (With Marilynn and Renee Hendrie)

This week on Breaking Spirits, we are still discussing all things Faire with the wonderful Marilynn and Renee sisters! On this episode, we move into how the Faire has become a culture unto itself, and how that spirit still echoes through craft brewing, and the modern craft movement in general. How are modern mead makers pushing the limits of the style? Why does Hawai'i need a Renaissance Faire? We answer these questions and many more on this week's episode of Breaking Spirits!
