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

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!
