Victory Bottle Dating

Enjoy by date is usually right on the front of the label. But I have seen bottles missing them or badly printed.

 

If you can't find it on the label, you got one with a missing date. Happens a LOT lately with Victory- I buy by the case (which is dated, too, of course), and many labels have illegible dates. It's supposed to be in the bottom left corner of the label, in white ink, about 1" from the bottom, 2" in from the left side. Look close and you might see some "broken" remains of what should be the "Enjoy by" date.

PS You'll find it more rewarding to look for the date code before you buy the beer rather than wait until you get home...

 

I haven't seen the Victory bottle date at all in the last few months, I've been checking a lot lately for some fresh Hop Devil.

 

I've seen several hop-wallop 6-packs at Wegmans without dating. Several other varieties were either legible, or too smeared to read. It seemed hop-wallop was the only Victory variety that didn't have even an attempt at a date. Not sure why that is. Love fresh HopDevil by the bottle - love it more on tap.

 

awesome, which Wegmans? I was talking about the one in Malvern.

 

To continue on from this, I purchased a 6 pack of prima pils about two months ago. It had no date, so I emailed them. They said something along the lines of 'their machine was down, and a few batches went out with no date'.

Not sure if this helps

 

Is anyone having difficulty finding the date on DirtWolf bottles lately? I've wanted to grab a 4pk, but can't find it any more. It was on the neck before disappearing.

 

It's on the label now

 

The went back to putting the date on the label.

 

yup. it's gone as far as I can tell. Has been for months. They still print a date on the cases, but on 4 packs there is no way to tell that I can find. Now I won't buy a 4 pack unless I take it out of the case myself

edit: I guess it's on the label. should have read before I posted. glad to know. thanks guys

 

Haha! Thank you! If it had been a snake it would have bit me.

 

No worries

 

I can't even tell you how much time I've spent staring at bottles and not finding it...
