    It was so great to see how packed it was on St. Patrick's day, and a good sign for it still being a fun place to go when it gets busy. The beer line got long, but as far as I could tell it never turned into 1 in 1 out for the speedway and at the end of the day that's what's going to make or break how I feel about chancing a half hour uber on a summer weekend.

    Excited for the empanada place to open - if there's one thing about the Speedway experience that's been lacking so far, it's been the lack of food.

    Anyone familiar with Lighthouse Liquors in East Longmeadow? I’ve been before for Notch and thinking of a trip again. I called for inventory but was bad timing with other things happening in the store. Sounds like they have Dvanactka and Suspect Device. Wondering if Tenner and Lost are still around.

    Anyone else thinking about that French Pils Biere D’Alsace already?

    no? Just me? OK… (Then it’s all mine, ha ha ha ha)

    I asked them on FB if you need to buy a ticket just for bottles to go. Hoping to stop by between dance and tennis drop off/pick ups without having to buy a ticket.

    Do you need to buy tickets ahead of time?

    Starkbierfest is at the door. Admission for these events will be $10 at the door with a commemorative ceramic steinkrug and $5 with no steinkrug (or if you brought your own!).

    Krug Members: “we are offering you a chance to cut the line! Flash your Lukr tap keychain at the door, and you, and up to 4 guests, can skip the wait and head right into the event!”

    Going to the Salem location tomorrow. If anyone has any direct questions I can try to get answers before the Sunday fest from the source.

    More importantly getting my Odd Meter Coffee fix first. :yum:

    If just buying beer to go I was told it would be okay. I guess just tell the door guy?

    Seriously dude. I’m not in town tomorrow and went twice around St. Paddy’s weekend and never got Dvanactka cans. Kinda sucks that the cans are on shelves in random places around MA but not at the brewery I support.

    Stacks of this stuff at Ball Square! Among all their other recent releases.

    But yeah, when they have a release I want, I head there that week if I can. Picked up the 12th anniversary and Suspect Device right on St. Patrick’s Day.
