This Aug. 25, 2014 photo shows bottles of "Queen Bee," a traditional style of mead aged in oak barrels, at Arktos Meadery in Grand Rapids, Mich. Maciej Halaczkiewicz, a former nuclear submarine technician from Oak Park, began distributing initial bottle shipments last week from his new venture Arktos. The alcohol-by-volume percentage of Arktos meads is high compared to typical meads available on Michigan taps and store shelves, which generally clock in around 5 percent to 10 percent. Queen Bee hits 15 percent and that's not even the strongest variety Halaczkiewicz is making. (AP Photo/The Grand Rapids Press, Chris Clark) ALL LOCAL TELEVISION OUT; LOCAL TELEVISION INTERNET OUT
