Disable Middleware for Laravel 5.0 testing

Is there any way to disable Middleware to test a page in Laravel 5.0?

I know 5.1 has "withoutMiddleware()" method, but how about in Laravel 5.0?

I have a custom authentication middleware that doesn't hook into the core user system. However, I need to disable it to test things behind wall.

Unfortunately, our server environment doesn't allow me to upgrade to 5.1, so that isn't an option.

Thanks! Troy
