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!

I'm still really digging them, but I see what you're saying - might be there in a bit...I'm finding I like some barrels more than others, too...boney wrote:JeffPorter wrote:In some ways it was more wine than beer.

from esprit's post in another tread:
"Chimay Blue and Rochefort 8 will be full fledged General Lists in the New Year. Orval will be a seasonal in the first quarter. Rochefort 10 is only available through us on Consignment. Also coming in a limited availability one shot is Chimay Speciale Cent Cinquante in corked 750ml silk-screened bottle, their one time 150th anniversary version of White Cap but at 10% instead of the normal 8%. Hope that sheds some light on our upcoming offerings."
sweet!

anyone know if the plan is for Rogue Brutal Bitter IPA to come back? It's one of the few Rogue beers on the lcbo site that isn't flagged as 'discontinued'

The 150th... LCBO or consignment?? I tasted one bottle in december and it was one of the best beers I've had in recent memory...spinrsx wrote:from esprit's post in another tread:
