St. Ambrose's Shotgun Wedding

Bottoms Up
Aug. 2, 2025

Is there anything that screams summer more than the pairing of strawberry and rhubarb? Maybe if you add a little honey and a little apple… and then it’s time for a Shotgun Wedding. This St. Ambrose cyser—a form of mead made with the aforementioned apples and honey—is a little sweet, a little tart, and bound to have you walking down the aisle for a second pint. (P.S. This holy matrimony star took home a gold medal at the 2024 U.S. Mead Open!) Enjoy on a summer evening at their Beulah tasting room, where it pairs perfectly with one of the kitchen’s wood fired pizzas. Visit, dine, and drink (and find cool events like a Monday “Honey Bee” artisan market and regular live music) at 841 S Pioneer Rd in Beulah. stambrose-mead-wine.com
