    Yeah it sucks the date is pretty much unreadable if you hold up a full beer, best way to read it is to hold it upside down. I as well learned this the hard way after having a shitty tasting Hop Rod.

    Given your answer, I would say you drank both of them!! Maybe not all of the one on the left though.
    Not sure how anyone can have any NN left from one year to the next either. :wink:

    I am told that's exactly what they do - they hold back beer and time the releases such that they believe the beer will arrive in optimal condition at the end point. How exactly they manage the distributor-consumer delay, particularly far away on the East Coast, I don't know. I lived in Philadelphia for many years and noticed a wide variation in the color and quality of Racer 5, but now that I live within a 45 minute drive of the brewery in California, I find it highly consistent both on tap and in bottles, so what I have been told seems plausible.

    I'm giving the Belgian Session from the summer pack a try. It's not too bad.

    Actually, the one on the left is the fresh one. The right, drain pour. Gave it a few sips. Not worth the calories! LOL

    Should have been more specific, Back of the beer fridge,

    The side of your desk would work, otherwise shall we assume that bottle sat there and stared at you? (Hope not! :slight_smile:)

    Finally back at my house, about to open a bottle of Three Heads' Too Kind DIPA. Excited to see what this guy's like, 'cause I always like seeing good, local products around here.

    And I'm watching Archer, season 3. Instant classic.

    I tried the side of the desk! First thing I tried, actually. And I tried the pen, and the edge of the fridge—they were all rounded, plastic edges. So, worthless.

    That's impressive, but it's hard to top this one (twist top or not!):
