Zach: "Did I dream this, or are they actually making ten gallons of mead across the hall?"

Me: "They are making ten gallons of mead across the hall."

Zach: "I love this school."

Technically down the hall, but otherwise, this exchange is accurate. Yes that's right, mead, a drink composed of fermented honey, most literarily famous in Beowulf, and overall popular with the vikings. This mead is being brewed in plastic two-liter bottles, which bottles have all been given names such as "Samuel L. Jackson", "Bloodric the Bad", or "Nelson Mead-dela".

Just another typical day at U of C.
