    I will hold beer up to the light and stare at it. I look for bottle dates. I wont call though. I just go in to show Im committed. I've shopped the same store for 2 generations of the owners now. Theyre good people.

    Here comes the a-hole who is going to empty the cooler looking for fresh beer and then walk out without buying anything. :angry:

    At one liquor store, I'm known as "the freshness guy" because I asked once (ONCE) if they had fresher Abrasive in the back.

    Wow, that's crazy! I hope that privatizing would help with situations like that, but ::shrugs:: who knows? I think the most I've been told I would have to buy was 15 cases, but that was a few years back. I don't trust my memory all that much.

    I would actually hold some of the limited release stuff he keeps whining about if that wasn't the only thing he ever came in for.

    Okay, I'm probably gonna sound really stupid for not knowing this, but why do people hold bottles up to the light? :confused:

    Is it to check for sediment for harvesting yeast for homebrewing? Is there some way you can check for freshness by holding the bottle up to the light? I think I've done it a few times on Stone beers, since they have the freshness stamp on the shoulder that's basically invisible unless you hold it up to the light, but is there some other reason?
