May 29, 2021, Saturday.
There were large crowds of people all around as we walked over to Main Street, Speedway, Indiana. This area used to be a bit rundown, but now is enjoying a renaissance and has become an Indianapolis destination even when the races aren't being run. Lots of urban renewal as well as many new bars and restaurants. Streetscaping as well.
The crowds were out the whole street. Every restaurant and bar was packed and a lot of people sitting outside on their sidewalk cafes. We headed to one of our favorite places, Daredevil Brewing. We like to order flights of their brews and do taste testing to find a favorite one and then order a full pint.
We saw huge lines outside of the place and were disappointed until we found out that one of the lines were waiting to get a racer's autograph. However, there still was a line to get into the place. They have a big outside area and that was packed as well.
Once we got inside, we found that we had to sit in the back room and, worse of all, there were no Flights of beers, so just had to order blindly. Sue and Paul bought the first round, then I got the second and was surprised when the $20 bill I gave Paul didn't cover the price. They had raised the price of pints from $5 to $7.
The big reason I don't drink craft beers is the cost. Five dollars is too much, but $7 is completely out of then ballpark for me. I don't plan on walking all that extra distance to the place next year. I'll just stop at one of the closer-in bars.
