Be sure to play our Cattle Battle category, too! Mead Stampede organizers will brew up a special batch of lactomel mead featuring breakfast cereal. Here’s the challenge: we just gave you the ingredients, but not the recipe. You brew with these ingredients – trying your best to guess what the Cattle Battle Challenge mead tastes like. Whichever entry gets the closest in flavor to the official brew will be declared the winner!

Red Earth Brewers is a social club open to all individuals who are at least 21 years of age and exists as a means for members to explore the art of homebrewing. The mission of the Red Earth Brewers is to promote the education and appreciation of homebrewed beers, ciders, wines and meads while at the same time forging relationships with the Oklahoma brewing community. This is accomplished through collective education, research, dissemination of information as well as volunteering in all areas related to our craft.
