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 especially like this guy who keeps posting on both sites. his ads now contain a note for "flaggers to find a new hobby", which just makes me want to flag him all the more. here's his links:

Yeah, wouldn't even $50/bottle be rather expensive in a restaurant? So you could easily get a 6 pack for $300 (plus tax and minus glasses). I think some people just know "this is super rare and it's the best beer in TEH WORULD!", so they must think $650 is reasonable. Or something.
It seems this question comes up every few pages. Why oh why?
Again, one of the most hyped beers in the world. One of the most rare beers in the world with the hype. The US got almost no product compared to Canada. Many people will buy rather than pay to fly and go get it. Simple economics here. Move on.
