    Mine would definitely be wax sealed bottles with no clip to open the cap.

    Breweries that make massive quantities of crap and only a few barrels of the stuff heaven must be made of.

    I don't know if it's the "biggest" pet peeve of mine, but I'm bummed by the lack of fresh imported lagers.

    Selling beer on eBay and people hoarding vast amounts of hard-to-get bottles.

    ya know what I hate more than no bottle/can dates???

    Indecipherable dating codes that involve me using some other website, or a stupid Mickey Mouse decoder ring or something to understand them...

    It's as if they are trying to mock me or something. .. :angry:

    Selling beer labels that no longer have the same beer inside. Leveraging the logo to sell whatever is in the bottle.
    I'm not talking about just changing the beer, I'm talking about buying the brewery, shutting it down, and moving to the U.S.A. and trying to clone the same thing... It's just not the same, it just isn't.

    My biggest pet peeve is buying a $12 bomber just because it "looked cool'. I'm a sap for special releases

    The positive in this is that it has incentivized me to learn how to read Julian dates.

    It's actually more of a bummer that some will pass them when they are fresh.

    Not sure if this is what you mean but beer stores with no prices on the bottles or shelves. No price = no purchase for me.

    You're not missing much by not decoding the messages- they usually just try to get you to buy more Ovaltine.

    "Ice cold" craft beer.
    "Casual dining" restaurants (Applebee's, Red Lobster, etc.) that carry only Sam Adams seasonal... Hey corporate assholes... let your franchisees choose their own taps!
