    And after two months of being timed out...I'm back!!! Oh and yeah I bought a case today, all bottle dated. Hopefully they add dates to all bottles.

    hell yes! while not really needed for zombie dust due to its turnover, this is extremely highly welcomed for panzer and dreadnaught which can sit for a minute at a lot of spots.

    What is Zombie Dust doing on a Blackhawks glass?

    Excellent. Like tinypyramids said, it will come in handy for certain brews.

    Not sure if bombers are dated...only GBH and ZD confirmed. I'll be back up there at half time...bottled Immutable Dusk today so that should be dated if so

    Did you know there's a Bears banner hanging at the FFF brewpub?

    Oh wicked, soon there will be "vintage" six-packs of Gumballhead at my corner booze store for $14.99. Except now you won't have to guess whether or not they're 13 months old, you'll know immediately.
    This is very good news (for people who buy $14.99 six-packs of Three Floyd's beers).

    In all seriousness: I don't buy Three Floyd's beers but this is nothing but a good, be it long-overdue, move!

    Yep, it's true! I lost my shit when I heard they were doing this to coincide with the move to Windy. So happy. Now stores can't hoard old ZD in the back room and expect to get $20 for it.... Or at least not as often :slight_smile:

    Wow, that's insane, 6 packs of shelf FFF are generally $11-12 around SE WI.

    I know of one beer store on the north side of Chicago that was selling ZD by the bottle at bar pricing - $5.99. That's $35.94 per sixer. Ouch!

    ^^^^^^ This.

    I can find ZD around me. However, the stores sell it as singles, anywhere from $3.99-5.99 each. I've thought about maybe buying one or two at $3.99 just for the hell of it... But, how do I know that the store hasn't been selling off their case or 2 of ZD in all singles for the last 3,4, or 5 months?

    I might take it in the butt like every once in a while if I want to mix it up, but only if I can be assured the ZD isn't 6 months old.

    Also easy to find FFF bombers on shelves that you have no idea if they are 2 weeks old or a year old.

    Soooo sick that they are bottle dating! It should be a requirement.

    No, the brewery still burned down, it's just that now they're able to date their bottles
