BevFluence® is coming to Baltimore this August! We’ll close out the summer with a week of imbibing experiences. The week consists of tasting and education with Eric Kozlik, Tracie Franklin, Shaun Stewart, and BevFluence’s own Chandler Tomayko.

We’ll round out the week with several bartender labs in which bartenders, other industry professionals, and media cut loose and get creative with your spirits and a wide range of innovative ingredients.
