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!

New non-LCBO/TBS beer releases
I'll pay whatever as long as it helps Nickel Brook get into the old Lakeport facilities (said somewhat tongue-in-cheek, somewhat half serious. Hamilton is a wasteland).
Yep, $18 is indeed a lot, but as previously said, the market will support what it supports and prices will adjust/re-adjust, so I'll just watch with interest rather than indignation.

They have about 3000 bottles. 12 bottle limit a person and 12 bucks a bottle. Most of their special releases don't sell out right away, but it's hard to predict demand like that.ckoop wrote:missed this release by a week! i'm contemplating a trip up to grab it, i wonder how long it will last? it sounds great though.TheBeeraholic wrote:Lambda (barrel aged quad w/ brett) being released Friday as well.

If I make it out on the weekend, I can pick up a few extra and hold on to them for you. I wouldn't want the full 12 anyway.

Pretty cool news on the nicklebrook malevolent (to me at least). My brother dropped by on the weekend and someone in the store told him they were canning it this year. I hope that it's true because I hate buying 750s of nearly all beer. It's just not very good value.
Now I just have to hope that this beer is as good as I remember it because this beats both stones and firestones black IPAs to me.

That was me grabbing the case. Only six for me the other six for four other guys.Cadbury102 wrote:I was at Bellwoods today about 11:15. No line up. I saw one guy carrying a case home, and another guy purchasing 6 bottles. I picked up a case to spilt with my buddy.
When I spoke with one of the girls last week, she said that she'd be surprised if lambda sold out sooner than one week.

Good to see you, fellow BT'er. Hope you had a chance to enjoy the fresh lambda. I was quite impressed with it, and am excited to age itTheBeeraholic wrote:That was me grabbing the case.
