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!

Imperial Stout Orders are rolling in!
Imperial Stout Orders are rolling in!
Paid orders for the Imperial Stout have begun pouring in. Cases are allotted on a first come (or enveloppe opened) first served basis, so the sooner your order comes in, the lower the case # is. A would like to thank Bartowelers for their support on this and to Cass in particular for posting the order form for me.
I am only numbering the cases 1-165.
Once I have received a confirmed paid order, I will send out a certificate to the purchaser stating that he his guaranteed a case. The number of the case you will receive is on the certificate as well. The first certificates are coming off my printer as I write this.
This is fun.

I hope this kind of thing catches on too! I like to drink new and wonderful local beers whenever possible.
I hope to make Tsarina Katarina an annual brew. I will hold some back at the brewery so we can do a vertical tasting in a few years ( my wine background is showing ) I can only speak for myself on this matter, but the cost of doing a small run is quite high. It will cost me as much for the lables for this as it does for a years supply of labels for the IPA because i have to order 10,000 labels minimum Luckily, I have put the vintage on a neck tag so if i do subsequent vintages, I won't incur the cost of labelling for the next 2-3 vintages. It also disrupts the brew schedule and really creates havoc at the production level. Of course this could have been mitigated had I thought of doing this sooner, say in January when things are quieter. John and Doug at Church-Key are owed a great deal of thanks for allowing me to do this.
If the economics make some sense, I'm sure more micros will be offering one-offs and specials in the future.

I know Belgian beer is not your kick, but some Belgians have no labels... I'd still buy a short run of your beer with no label, but that's... priobably not your style.PRMason wrote:It will cost me as much for the lables for this as it does for a years supply of labels for the IPA because i have to order 10,000 labels minimum.
