    Got my first can ordered Shipping. But not my second order yet.

    ordered one prior to figuring out how to order multiple bottles at once.

    Did you end up paying twice for shipping?

    Yea I read through their FAQ and one was about combining shipping for orders and they said they don’t do that.

    That's what kept me from ordering three more. I just have one expensive can coming... I emailed them, but never got a response so I just let it go.

    They had some other beers I wanted to try so I added the other 3 I could get and the other beers I wanted. Would have done the same thing as you if there weren’t other beers

    I literally just half filled my trashcan with packing peanuts, and put my single can in the fridge

    Anyone have TG's experimental lagers (the ones available for curbside growler pickups) yet? Thoughts?

    I personally have not. Not a huge lager fan, also it’s been a while since I’ve gotten down there.

    Been on a big lager kick the last couple months... more so during the pandemic. Was considering buying some growlers of these lagers but wanted to know more before committing since TG isn't known for their lagers.

    Believe I had 300-302 last time I was down. 302 was my favorite of the bunch, but I would never buy any of them again in growlers.

    Vladimir gluten is back in stock. It was pretty good. Nice vanilla notes. Just really thin for a TG stout.

    I’m not a fan of Drink by Dates on cans. So when are TG’s beers canned? How far out from the drink by date? Thx.

    Both 'Canned on' and 'Best by' dates have been on 4-pack boxes for some time now. I never really bother to look at individual cans, since my purchase decision is made based on 'Canned on' date on the 4-pack cardboard box.

    I prefer canned or born on date. TG cans has been out here in SoCal for some time now. But I just noticed the Drink By on the King Sue can’s. I thought I saw Canned On dates before. So I’m a bit confused. So I’m trying to fine out how old the Drink By dates cans are. King Sue tasted fresh so far.

    TG cans always have a canned and drink by date on the bottom.

    The drink by date is 3 months from the canned date. So if it says Drink by June 2nd then it was canned in March 2nd. They hit a period where people complained about just the drink by date being on there and not knowing the canning date so they added both to the box, but if you’re like me and just throw the cans in the fridge and recycle the box right away you don’t always remember that.

    Yup. That’s what I did. Toss the box. Thank you @Lorddevn.
