Dylan Sprouse’s interest in brewing mead came as a result of wanting to drink alcohol with his friends “like most little rascals do,” he told Forbes (via YouTube). He learned that you could buy the ingredients legally and just make it instead of trying to buy it. At first, Dylan kept his brewing hidden from his parents. His dad eventually found a batch but was “uncharacteristically” in support of his son’s passion — so long as he could try some and that Dylan continued to respect the craft.
Having been diagnosed with ADHD, Dylan had been “looking for a hobby and a passion that would give me a little long-term commitment,” he said during an interview with Esquire. Brewing was something that made him feel “mellow,” as Dylan explained to Forbes, and gave him “a timeframe of something to look forward to and not get distracted by.”
Dylan continued to brew mead well into his college years, but when he finished, he was unsure whether to continue his passion or return to acting. His dad suggested taking an internship or a job in a brewery, so Dylan started working for The King’s County, a distillery in Brooklyn. While he only worked there for a “short amount of time,” he learned the business and fell in love with everything to do with the process.
