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!

What was the shit show last year? They didn't receive it until like a week later and then just through it on twitter.
Reports (from a friend, who is friends with the manager) are that LOTS of people sent in extra people to boost their hoard.
As well, lots of people came in asking for "that super rare beer" While Im sure some people couldn't make it at all and sent a single mule, it's still a pile on to limited resources.
Lots of people actually yelling at the manager for "holding bottles" (they weren't) and having limits (whatever)...
^ Glad I missed the stupid. I mean great beer is a good thing, but it's getting so that people only want certain beers so badly because it's the thing to want them badly. Then there's all the indignation, entitlement and proprietariness around who should get what or not. It's disappointing, but oh well...
I could get that on! Stone is freaking amazing. I really think I like their beers more than most people do... from the unbeatable IPA and Ruination to the Anniversary Ales, Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal, Arrogant Bastard and Russian Imperial Stout and excellent Smoked Porter.
