In partnership with the Baltimore Bartenders Guild... Baristas and bartenders compete for the best coffee-based 'Signature Beverage', aka 'non-alcoholic coffee cocktail'...

Attendees... for a mere $7 you get to try each of the competition drinks (that's probably enough caffeine for the whole weekend!) Plus the funds will go to a great cause- The Bartenders Guild emergency response fund for a member who was in a serious accident.

Snag a tasting ticket for $7 here.
