WORCESTER — The best way to drink a beer at a hockey game in Massachusetts is at the DCU Center in Worcester. I’m just kicking myself that it took me so long to learn about it.
It’s a 24-ounce pillar of awesomeness called the Beer Twig and available at the DCU Center. Specifically, you can get it at the bar behind section 117.

The Beer Twig is the next great innovation in sports concessions, allowing you to drink a giant beer in a vessel that’s simultaneously impractical and impressive.
The moment I spotted someone with it, I had to stop them and ask them where they got it. After I got ahold of mine, that process repeated as people asked that same thing of me.
Like any souvenir item, the Beer Twig comes at a premium. I paid a little over $25 bucks for a Beer Twig filled with an IPA from Double Down, a local brewery in Worcester.
The biggest problem with the Beer Twig is that it’s hard to set down. It doesn’t exactly fit in a cup holder. So you’re stuck with either holding it or finding an elegant solution to balance it.

The Beer Twig is available at select arenas across the country. Fortunately for fans in Central Mass., Worcester is an early adopter. Keep an eye out for it at Worcester Railers hockey games and other events at the DCU Center.
The Beer Twig at the DCU Center is simply labeled “Worcester.” But fans in Western Mass. may be interested in some AHL team-branded Twigs.
Springfield Thunderbirds-branded versions are available on the Beer Twigs website — as are display stands to keep your Twig vertical at home.
