The Bar Towel

I love it. It reminds me of Ruination, except I don't have to go to Buffalo

Christoffel is also fairly hoppy, but yeah not the greatest selection up here

Thanks, I'll talk with GRB and see what they say.

I sent an e-mail to tbs but haven't heard back so maybe one of you guys can help. I'm having another kegger for Canada Day, but this time I want something a little better than PBR(its cheap).
