KNOCK OF AGES -- THURS., OCTOBER 20TH

Gunter glieben glauben . . . KNOCKIN'.

It has been forever -- Ages! -- since we have Knocked It Back, Baltimore, and we must put an end to that. Whichever Knock you worship, whichever Knock is your Knock of Ages -- we will welcome you all the same -- provided you go light on the Def, or any other types of Leppards. Toward that end, please note new day (Thursday) and locale (Dionysus) and join us this Thursday, October 20th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+etc.) @ Dionysus, *downstairs*, 8 East Preston Street, Baltymo, Md. To knock back one brew is Sensuous; to knock back two, and every time thereafter, is Sensual. Remember that. And remember that We Take Pride in Our Debauch. Hope to see you for all festivities and all parlay voo. ----Yr friends at KIBB.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO KNOCK -- WEDS. JUNE 29

*Please note: Beer + Vision could = Illusion

Don't be one who always wanted to Knock, never Knocked, then later yearned for Knockings. Our Knock is your discrete Knock is yore Knock is our indiscretion. You can drink a drink / and skip a drink / and if you skip a drink / then drink a beer. That's our song, that's how we Knock It Back, and we invite you to join us this Wednesday, June 29th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+etc.) @ Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles Street, Baltymo, Md. To reach the end of one pint is to reach the bottom; to reach the end of two or more pints is said to be Bottom Knocking. Who knows the truth of that, but one thing's sure, We Take Pride in Our Debauch. Hope to see you for all festivities and all parlay voo. ----Yr friends at KIBB.

GET KNOCKED -- WEDNESDAY JUNE 22

All arrows point toward ... Spots.  

All this talk about "Hitting the Spot" when there can be many spots -- the Brisket Spot, Poems about Field Marshal Rommel Spot, spots on your dog Spot spot, Buckwheat (Actor) Spot, Buckwheat (Grain) Spot, Shot Put Spot, and Gee Whiz Spot -- not to mention the counterpart saying, "Hits the Blight." With so many spots and blights to hit, we recommend drinking beer in sufficient quantities, just to be sure. Join us this Wednesday, June 22nd, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+etc.) @ Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles Street, Baltymo, Md. We will drink to all your spots and  blights, and maybe discover a few spots and blights that have yet to be Knocked, hoy hoy. The Knock is Baltimore's gathering for creative types and their Knockerbackers -- "We Take Pride in Our Debauch." Hope to see you there for all festivities and parlay voo.

CALLING ALL KNOCKERS -- MAY 25

Those Who Are About to KNOCK Salute You!

My fellow Knockers -- let beer be finale of thirst. That's what we in the biz call a loose translation, and what better translation could there be? Join me, my fellow co-hosts, and special guest, California writer extraordinaire, Mark Wallace, this Wednesday, May 25th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+ etc.) @ Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles St., in Baltymo, as we quench -- loosely speaking -- in translation. The Knock is Baltimore's gathering for creative types and their Knockerbackers -- "We Take Pride in Our Debauch!" Hope to see you there for the good ol' parlay voo. Yrs, DG 

SOLID AS A KNOCK -- WEDNESDAY, MAY 4

Stow away on the beer sailboat!

Funny how syllables become swillables once the ABV climbs. Or is that vice versa? Either way, join us this Wednesday, May 4th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+ etc.) @ Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles St., in Baltymo, as we enunciate ("I'll take a beer") and prononciate ("Lemme have another") in search of the elusive bridge between beer and expression. The Knock is Baltimore's gathering for creative types and their KnockerBackers -- "We Take Pride in Our Debauch." Hope to see you there for all parlay voo and allied festivities.

KNOCK KNOCK -- WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20

Beowulf himself partook of this brew.

"Knock Knock." Who's there? "Drunks w/ beer." Drunks w/ beer who? "Oh, sure. Pretend like it's an everyday thing." And we at The Knock don't pretend. We Knock It Back once a week (in public) in a responsible format that emphasizes all the effervescence of The Dark Dive. Join us this Wednesday, April 20th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+ etc.) as we establish ourselves in barstools @ Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles St., in Baltymo. The Knock is Baltimore's gathering for creative types and their KnockerBackers -- where speakers of Old English, Middle English, and Low, Low English can succeed in ordering The Froth. We hope to see you there for all parlay voo and allied festivities.

KNOCK FULLA NUTS -- WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6

(Properly) Aged before Beauty? For reals.

There is, to paraphrase Thornton Wilder, a Land of Labor and a Land of Leisure, and the Bridge Is Ale, the only survival, the only meaning. Don't labor (or leisure) in a meaningless land. Join us this Wednesday, April 6th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+ etc.) as we swing/swang in the "Free State" of beer drinkery @ Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles St., in Baltymo. The Knock is Baltimore's gathering for creative types and their KnockerBackers -- where a woman and her pint are one; where a man and his pint are one; where women and men and the sum total of their pintage are ... the only meaning.  We hope to see you there for all parlay voo and allied festivities.
