FLB returning to Flying Dog Brewery's GonzoFest

Aug 28, 2009

The FLB we will be back on stage and channeling all the Fear, Loathing, and Gonzo energy we can at Flying Dog Brewery's annual Gonzofest coming Saturday, September 12th in Frederick, MD. In addition to The FLB's second performance at the festival and all the great beer you can fit your mouth around, this year's event will also feature Mark Bryan from Hootie and the Blowfish, Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes and his band ...soihadto..., as well as Flying Dog's own Uncle Rocko. In addition, Gonzofest will host the Maryland State Chili Cook-Off Championship and part of the proceeds from the festival will go to The United Way of Frederick County.

Last year was a blast celebrating great beer and the Gonzo way at the home brewery, and this year is already shaping up to outdo the last with a great lineup of music and plenty of those tasty Flying Dog libations. We have been warned that tickets are selling fast and that there might not be many (or any!) left at the door, so to purchase tickets now and find out more information, visit:
