A fitting end to Baltimore Beer Week 2014, and we hope to see you again next year.

It's already that third Thursday, Baltibrewers, and that means it's time to invade Nepenthe and discuss all things fermentable. We're hoping to make this meeting a little different in that it's happening during Baltimore Beer Week — as such, less business, more beer!

Prior to the meeting (4–7 p.m.), Nepenthe is hosting Virginia's Devil's Backbone for a tasting. If you can get there before the meeting, there might even be some beer left.

Agenda:

• VERY brief Chilibrew 8 wrap-up, and thanks.
• VERY brief promo for Mead Day (Saturday 11/1)
• Gruit comp preview and request for volunteers
• any Guild notes
• Ed Topic — Surprise guest speaker, and tasting.

We hope to see you there.

Baltibrew is sponsoring the No Hop Gruit Competition at Liam Flynn’s Ale House during Baltimore Beer Week on October 19th from 4 pm to 6 pm.  Entries for submission will be accepted any time before the event begins at 4 pm.

This year we're sponsored by Baltibrew Homebrew Club, Maryland Homebrew, Nepenthe Homebrew, and Free State Homebrew Club Guild.

It's that time again, Baltibrewers. Hard to believe it's already the third week in September, but this means it's time to meet at Nepenthe Homebrew at 8 p.m. tomorrow.
