Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

So maybe fall/winter for the Chimay Bleu?
Correct me if I'm wrong but when/if this releases it would make sense to grab a bunch as don't all the Chimays age well?
I'm not a huge fan of the rotation either. I have a nice vertical of vintage ale going so im going to have to trade for it next year.....or go to quebec. But it will be nice to see the RIS again, I only have one left from last time.

Try it and find out.
I've wasted enough money on Ontario "IPA" that promises one thing and delivers something entirely different. I'll need to hear/read some ringing endorsements before buying any.

Yeah. I could be spending that $3 or $4 on something useful. Like half a haircut. Or two packs of gum.

And where, pray tell, does one find this product for $3?
Are we assuming that Mad Tom = Cabin Fever #1 or do we know this for a fact?
There were at least two beers out there listed as Cabin Fever #1. The batch I had at Dakota Tavern, and the batch they have had at Volo, Cest What and elsewhere.
My understanding is that they were the same base beer, with the hop ratios (Centennial and Sorachi I believe) varied. I found that they tasted quite different to my palate so I am curious to see what the bottles taste like. How closely the bottles match the Cabin Fever, and whether or not they should count as the same beer for RB/BA purposes, you'd have to talk to someone at Muskoka.
