Recently saw some 22oz sculpin bottles with illegible dates on them. Just wondering if anyone knows when they started dating their bottles.
It's blurry but I can see it says 'enjoy by' then the next line is the date but it's blurry and cut in half.
They started doing "enjoy by" dates around two months ago or so. Before that, they had some type of batch code/bottling date that was tough to figure out.

Just bought some in PA with enjoy by dates of 10/24/12, so I was pretty happy with that. With finally having ANY dates on the bottle, I am happy with whichever method they decided to go with.
The earliest I've seen were 8/XX/12 dates on them, so maybe its been a bit longer than 2 months since they started, enjoy by dates.
When it first came to TX 3-4 months ago the bottles had a date around mid July. We recently got a new batch with dates around the end of September that taste excellent.
I just bought a case of Sculpin 12oz bottles in Raleigh NC today 08/07/12. The best by date is 11/23/12 if the 110 days is correct that would indicate a bottle date of 08/05/12. It seems to me that 120 days would be more accurate giving me a bottled on date of 07/26/12.
