Prairie Rose Meadery – Building a production area with tasting room
Mead is fermented honey and water that may have some spices or fruit added. There are not that many meaderies in the United States but we are getting one here in Fargo. Prairie Rose Meadery is building their production area with a tasting room in the 3100 block of 39th Street South in Fargo. It took a while to get the lease worked out but construction is finally in progress, again cutting of the floor for drains is needed. They hope to be open by late summer or early fall.

Drekker Brewing – Building the brewery and taproom
Drekker Brewing recently got in a big shipment of stainless steel tanks from their supplier, Portland Kettle Works. They broke through the brick wall in the back of their location at 630 1st Ave N, Suite 6 in Fargo so they could add a garage door in order to handle large loads like these tanks and all the grain that they will need in the future.
