Specialized brewery finds home in Fountain Square

As consumers look for more hand-crafted goods and a back-to-basics approach, one very specialized brewery has found a home in Fountain Square.
New Day Meadery is the only meadery in Indiana, and one of only 60 in the nation. Husband-and-wife team Brett Canaday and Tia Agnew began production in Elwood in 2001. In June, they opened a Fountain Square shop with a tasting room at 1102 Prospect St.
Mead, in essence, is honey wine. Because mead contains no grapes, which are naturally high in sugar, the fruit in mead needs the added sugar of the honey to increase the alcohol content.
Canaday and Agnew offer eight varieties, from dry to sweet. (Bottles range from $12 to $25.) Their tasting room is open to walk-ins, who can experience a single taste up to a full flight for a fee.
Canaday and Agnew plan to collaborate with local restaurants to provide food for larger tastings and parties, and they hope to host private cooking demonstrations.
