Will you drink Stone Enjoy By AFTER...

Drink- yes. Buy- probably not.

 

The new batches usually start hitting shelves 2-3 weeks after the previous "enjoy by" date, expect fresh bottles in May with a late june or early July "enjoy by"

 

Absolutely agree with this. It's still good weeks after the date, in the event you buy some and don't get around to finishing it/them by the 'marketing date'.

 

i thought it self destructed?

 

I bought a case of 4.20 (12 oz) and still have more than half of it left, so I definitely won't be finishing it all by the date. I've had them weeks after the enjoy by date and it's still great. I even did a blind test one time where I had a super fresh one and one from the previous release that was a few weeks after the date. You could definitely tell the difference and the fresh one was better but I think if I didn't drink them side by side I wouldn't have even noticed.

 

Drink, why not? Would I voluntarily wait? Hell no.

Buy? Tell me the price. You cut me $4 a bomber or something like that on 4.21, I'm all over that.

 

I've got a store with a bunch of the "2/14" bombers still in stock. I can't see anyone buying these unless they discount them and right now they are not. I really don't get it. Nobody is going to pay full price at this point. I surely wouldn't.

 

I'm sure you know that is a gimmick

 

Hell yeah. The 4/20 was outstanding! A a few days expiration surely will not hurt.

 

I didn't enjoy 7.4.14
I probably won't buy 'enjoy' ever again
This is one of the highest rated beers I absolutely disliked

 

Longest stretch I did so far was buy a 2/14 at my store almost exactly a month after (I know, they still had 12.26.14 when I went to get 4.20.15!)and it tasted good. Not as sharp or the fruit notes but still enjoy by.

 

I'm actually aging one for six months and another for a year. I just have to know.

 

All the bottles I've had after the date turned to dust.

On a serious note, of course I will. There is nothing wrong with it. These people that have an IPA immediately or it's not good are borderline insane. Will it be as good as it once was? No. Will it be ok to drink? Yes.

 

I usually skeet shoot bottles past there freshness date but whatever. It is your funeral.

 

My local bottle shop sells outdated Enjoy By for 25% off so yeah I've bought a few, but very rarely do they have any left after the "Enjoy By" date. For the record, they are still pretty damn awesome after the Enjoy By date.

 

I thought this was a thread about the Enjoy After ... series. I'm looking forward to having my bottle after 10.31.15

 

I was almost done with the Enjoy By series, until they came out in 6-packs, now I can just buy a 12-oz instead of a 22-oz bottle, and each time I drink it, say "it tastes a lot like I remember the last one"...not that there's anything wrong with that

 

Nope my last bomber is going to be enjoyed tonight.

 

Considering most think an "enjoy by" time period of 3 months is usually about 2.5 months too long, Stone Enjoy By is basically trash the moment it leaves the tanks.
