    I was there until like 8 last night. It was a cluster-F there, but I still had a good time.

    Double Hammerhead was my fav from the night. Honey Graham was a close second but I wouldn't be able to drink more than the taster I had. Creme Brulee was very nice as well.

    Crowded but I wouldn't call it a cluster.

    I saw a lot of people just holding the carriers because they had no place to set them down. AleSmith did the best they could, but there was way too many people for a small place. We won't have this issue next year!

    I am scared to go back tonight, especially if the trend of more ppl inside continues.

    Wed. night - walked in at 7ish, found a table in the back and ordered a bratwurst
    Thur. night - stood at the front door to get checked in for about 15 minutes (poor guy had an issue with the barcode scanner too), then epic cluster inside. Managed to secure a table in the main tasting room area this time.
    Fri. night - ...*confirmed for scared*

    Here at the bottle release and they keep replacing a tapped or speedway with one from the grand prix. Mexican chocolate and a double Jbl on now. Coconut and vanilla is gone though

    I might swing by after a trip to the climbing gym but eis speedway and small beer speedway were rather tasty yesterday. Those should still be on.

    Why is it so busy? I went to grab my bottles and there's like a 30 person deep line to get in the door. I said screw it & went to Popeyes

    Eis was tapped before I left btw. That 20% abv speedway was easily drinkable. A little scary.

    I thought it was pretty disgusting. To each their own. [grin]

    What did you think of the small Speedway?

    Small speedway I also enjoyed however I found it to taste rather watered down by comparison.

    Edit: And I wish I knew her name so I will just call her the Alesmith redhead tasting room manager with tatoos, but damn. Only person that ever could speak in a tasting room and have it get awkwardly quiet while she spoke. Mad props to her.

    Was Nick wearing a red wig? [snicker]

    A lot of people there have tats, and I've seen Kira, Shannon, and Abby (though I think she's done there now) all with reddish hair. I'm going to guess you are talking about Shannon, as she can get her voice in a pretty high decibel level.

    Yeah, I thought about that after I posted and was like...yeah...I just described probably 50% of the staff.

    So you think AFTER you post. That makes so much more sense.
