FREE Honey, Cheese Tasting, and Candle Making Tuesday Night

My buddy Seth over at Live Local has teamed up with HMS Beekeeper for this awesome post Valentine event.  Apparently St. Valentine is the patron saint of beekeepers so Tuesday night will be an evening of FREE honey, cheese tasting, and candle making! There will also be mead for sale.  Here is the info from the site:

St. Valentine is the patron saint of bee keepers. To celebrate this interesting facet of an otherwise tired holiday, HMS Beekeeper is throwing an after dinner, drop-in celebration of honey. The store will be lit entirely by candlelight. We will have reasonably priced, locally-sourced honey and cheese tastings, DIY candle making with real beeswax and surreptitious mead drinking. There will be a demonstration bee colony (behind glass, don’t worry). Plus, meet Her Majesty’s chickens, including Henrietta Alpha’s new chick born on Thursday. Great for couples looking for something interesting to do after dinner, or single folks who don’t want to do the bar thing. Maybe you can find a new honey.

Valentine’s Day is fraught with cliches and expectations. Spend a lot of money on a fancy dinner and buy mediocre chocolates in a pink box just to meet expectations. That stuff is boring, do this instead (or after). Starts at 8:30 and goes until whenever, probably 11ish. Learn about bees, dip your own candles for late night merry-making, try lots of honey and cheese and get credit for coming up with something interesting to do for Valentine’s Day.

Sounds pretty fucking sweet right? I’ll probably see you there!

UPDATE: I was wrong, the honey and cheese aren’t free (they are super cheap though) but hanging out is and you can BYOB!
