Social media was buzzing on Wednesday after a sign went up on the former Josephine Keir building on South Walnut Street. What to Ferment (WTF) Meadery officially announced they were bringing their unique flavors to Milford.

“We have had a dream for awhile to start a meadery,” David Wade, who co-owns the company with his wife, Jenifer, said on a Kickstarter campaign. “We are excited to bring our flavors to Milford and are grateful to Zack and Marissa King for believing in us in our endeavor.”

Mead is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey mixed with water. It may also be mixed with fruit to give it additional unique flavor. Alcohol content can range from about 3.5 to 20 percent alcohol by volume (ABV).

“Marissa and I consistently look for new things to bring to Milford and we felt this company as an excellent fit,” King said. “We are excited to bring this historic building to life with businesses that we think will bring people downtown and will help Milford grow.”

Although the Wade’s announced their opening on Wednesday, they are still finalizing the details on what will be offered in the new store, located at 27 South Walnut Street in Milford. Additional details will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
