About the team
Adaptive Sports New England’s beep baseball program, the Boston Strong, is an amazing opportunity for individuals with a visual impairment to learn and play the incredible sport of beep baseball. This program is available for both youth and adults, and is certainly fun for everyone. The sport is an adaptive form of baseball. The balls and bases emit beeping and buzzing sounds respectively so that players can locate them. Our team is a part of the National Beep Baseball Association, and will travel and play in tournaments- but our weekly practices are welcome for anyone to attend who want to get exercise, learn a new skill, build confidence and inner strength. No previous experience is needed, just a desire to learn and have fun while being active. This program is located in Burlington on Sunday mornings with the practices and team being ran by Head Coach Joe Quintanilla.

About the venue
Notch Brewery and Tap Room opened in an old brick warehouse at the rear of 283 Derby Street in July 2016. It is owned by Salem resident Chris Lohring, who has been brewing beer since 1993. He founded Notch Brewing in 2010 and brewed out of a few Boston and North Shore breweries until he was able to open his own place. The 5,000 feet square Brewery brings a German beer hall flavor to downtown Salem. People sit at communal tables and there are no televisions so people will socialize with friends and meet others. In 2021, the brewery was gifted the popular neon sign of the "Salem Witch" that hung for years at the Salem Beer Works. Historical photos from the 1950's show the witch sign sitting on top of the Salem Sign Co. on Highland Avenue.
