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.

KNOCK AROUND THE CLOCK -- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30

Taste Tells us to Enjoin.

We at The Knock fully -- religiously -- believe in Beer Union: body, brew, and the holy buzz. Call us spiritual, and we are: In distilled spirits we trust, for this deity at least offers corporeal fortitude (not to mention ABV) if it fails to answer our prayers. Join us this Wednesday, March 30th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+ etc.) as we offer various supplications at Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles St., in Baltymo. If you don't see us right away, then holler, and we'll come getcha. We look forward to seeing you at The Knock, the Baltimore gathering for Creative Types & Their KnockerBackers. 

KNOCK 'N' ROLL -- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23

Take two a day (with food)  

You may Knock on Wood to ward off evil and summon the bartender, simultaneously, and we at The Knock encourage what specialists call Economies of Scale. Knock two back, for example, and at the same time, bolster your longevity. In that spirit, join us this Wednesday, March 23rd, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+ etc.) for a healthy draught or two at Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles St., in Charm City. If you don't see us right away, then holler, and we'll come getcha. We look forward to seeing you at The Knock, the Baltimore gathering for Creative Types & Their KnockerBackers.

GET THE KNOCK -- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16

Back when 'pleasant' meant a whole lotta Natty.

Your friends at The Knock remind you to Parlay Voo responsibly -- to avoid Knockerbickers in your Knickerbockers -- and therefore, we strongly urge you to Forgoh The Boh, and join us this Wednesday, March 16th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (+ etc.) for a good draught at Brewer's Art, *downstairs*, 1106 N. Charles St., in Bawlmer, a day before St. Natty's Day. If you don't see us right away, then holler, and we'll come getcha. We look forward to seeing you at The Knock, the Baltimore gathering for Creative Types & Their Knockerbackers.
