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 forgot to disclose that I sold Bar Towel to Steelback 10 years ago 
Kind of an embarrassing situation as it seems that they made the announcement only after they were found out through 3rd party reporting.

Seems like a no-brainer. The Bros just won the New User Lottery and they didn't even need to buy a ticket.cratez wrote:Not surprisingly, BeerAdvocate has been quick to respond (capitalize?)
I've never been one to boycott beers that get snapped up by the lumbering behemoth that is AB-InBev, but RB management handled this pretty much as poorly as they possibly could have. This is one of those instances where the cover-up is worse than the scandal itself.
