Hey beer fans! We're doing another gruit competition at Liam Flynn's Ale House on February 1st, which just happens to be International Gruit Day. (I swear we didn't make this up.)

Gruit ales are beers brewed with  NO HOPS, and are usually bittered with herbs and spices. Some of the bittering combinations are said to be psychoactive, so there's some adventure to entice your palate to joins us.

See the flier, the Facebook event, and the signup form.

If you missed the gruit comp we held during Baltimore Beer Week, here's your chance to taste some ancient ales — the most extreme beers you're likely to find in the world. The Germans wouldn't even CALL it beer according to law.

Hope to see you there!

Happy Thanksgiving, Baltibrewers!

Here's hoping you all get to spend your day with family, friends, and someone you love. We're truly thankful to have such a great cast of brewers involved with our club, and we look forward to brewing better, bigger, and badder beers with each of you.

What are you drinking with your Thanksgiving dinner? Let us know!

Remember that the Guild Holiday Party is a week from Saturday. Tickets are still available, and we hope you'll help us represent Baltibrew again this year at Heavy Seas Brewery. We're also doing a bit of holiday fun at our upcoming December 19th meeting at Nepenthe. We'll limit club business to 2014 officer elections, dues payment, and the January collective brew day. Hope to see you there.

We're meeting tomorrow (11-21) at Nepenthe as usual, starting at 8 p.m.

Agenda items include:

• Ed Topic: Clarification (agents and techniques).
• Guild Holiday Party (Dec. 7th @ Heavy Seas).
• January Group Brew (What's the plan, subcommittee?)
• Greg Apker will speak on some AHA related news, aka "Greg's Needless Nerdiness."
• BJCP/Cicerone Prep Course (Do we want to do one?)
• Preparation for December voting (Who do you want to be your officers for the coming year?)

As usual, bring homebrew to share.
