It's almost time for our 2nd Annual GonzoFest. Come celebrate the extraordinary life of our Idol, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, on our brewery grounds. We'll be providing things like beer (which is included in the price of your ticket), live music and chili samples from the Hard Times Cafe Chili Cookoff (for the Maryland State Championship). We're even holding a Hunter S. Thompson lookalike contest - you could win tons of Gonzo shit if you show up dressed in your best Dr. Gonzo outfit! One of the prizes is a 750ml bottle of our original Gonzo Imperial Porter signed by none other than Ralph Steadman. To boot, a portion of the proceeds benefit United Way of Frederick County.
