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!
Highly drinkable and flavourful - my ideal in a beer. It's well worth the three bucks to grab an armload and you are supporting real beer.
Speaking of that, I better get to finishing off my SI Black Irish Porter some day soon. I wonder if that fine brew will ever come back the same without Capt. Perry at the helm.
Had me an Harviestoun Engine Oil after taking a month off any booze (a little ritual I do every February, although in the future I might do something a little less extreme), the first Engine Oil I've had in years. Still really good, although something about the water seemed a bit musty.
Followed up with a Scotch Irish Colonel By. I should've broken my beer-fast with that. I'm telling you, I could live off that beer!
I'm just polishing one off now after scooping the last 4 on the shelf at Brock St. in Parkdale (sorry Greg!) and introducing it to my brother. But besides the Engine Oil, my God what a piss-poor beer selection. Tons of Euro-lagers, and nothing but a few micro selections. I really hope they take note of the special ones that disappear quickly.
The old engine oil was a welcome addition and well worth the wait, Seems liss like an old ale then it does a substantial porter with cocoa and toasty character.
