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!
Weird. I made a post in this thread this afternoon but apparently it fell into the fifth dimension? It seems to exist within the forum's data (i.e. it shows up in my list of posts when I check my profile), but not in the thread itself. Whatever - here it is again.

Is the Van de Keizer Imperial Blond the same as the Rood?
I was also wondering this, so I looked into it a bit and the answer seems to be 'yes'. Both of the vdK brews have had a name change.
It looks like the vdK Blauw is now called "vdK Imperial Dark".

Nope. Still can't see it. Otherwise I'd have deleted it by now.
FWIW - I got a notification yesterday that you responded to my post, but didn't (and still don't) see your original response. Very strange indeed, but thanks for the info re: van de Keizer name changes.
Nice! That is a lot of Ontario beer. To manage, I plan to concentrate on the Festbiers/Marzens, which I always look forward to once the leaves start to turn. And, of course, GLB and GR Highballer Pumpkin ales, once a year while passing out candy on Oct 31. C'mon pumpkin haters! It's just once a year.
I see Collective Arts IPA 7 on the list, yet 6 has yet to make its appearance in stores. This has been a tremendous series of IPA’s and I eagerly await these next variations.
As for the pumpkin ales...if I never had one again it would still be to soon.

I agree. Cmon! They’re malty and spicey - a traditional historic ale. Buy few the week before Halloween. Practically the same species and flavours that are in. Lot of winter ales.
