Name: Fragola Forno Bakery Pop-Up
Start: 2026-10-30
Location: Bløm Mead + Cider

Bløm Mead + Cider is Ann Arbor’s answer to anyone who thinks a “session drink” should be a light‑hearted affair, not a pretentious lecture. Here you’ll find carbonated meads and ciders that are as dry as a desert road‑trip conversation but brewed with proudly Michigan‑grown fruit. The menu flips with the seasons, offering fresh, naturally gluten‑free flavors that change faster than a celebrity’s hairstyle. If you’re after something truly oddball, try the Aperitivo – a fortified, aromatised local cider blend that lifts the palate and the mood in one swift gulp (the kind of invention that makes you wonder why every bar hasn’t caught up).

Step inside the bright, warm taproom and you’re greeted by a projector looping films, a shelf of board games, and a space that feels deliberately uncluttered yet oddly cosy. The food list mutates each month, so you never know whether you’ll be nibbling on artisanal cheese or a daring new snack that somehow complements the black‑currant mead, a standout that balances fruit punch with razor‑thin dryness. Trivia nights, private events, and a steady stream of community gatherings keep the vibe as lively as the fizz in the glasses. In short, Bløm delivers craftsmanship with a grin, proving that good drinks don’t need a snob‑tastic preamble to shine.
