    I agree, but also like Leffe Blonde from time to time.

    No canning date on this can, but best before is somewhere next year. Leffe sells rather quick around here, (and close to Belgium too) so I assume it is as fresh as you can get it outside Leuven. This one is cold too. Place where I'm staying has a small private fridge.

    Omnipollo are most known for their crazy stouts and IPAs, but since Moving into their own brewery they’ve worked very hard on their lagers. This is simply called Pilsner, and is just that: a crisp, easy drinking German pilsner.

    Agreed. The best before date hasn’t quite taken off in Europe on our bottles and cans but it’s a concern and a valid one for any craft beer aficionados.

    Some more local breweries do it, and are more “legit” about the date their beers should be consumed.

    In Sweden you have to put a best before date by law. BUT, you can basically put anything you like. A month? Sure. Two years? Sure. Best before dates are useless unless they’re regulated in some way.

    Ah, that’s quite the issue but it’s hard to fool anyone about the freshness of the hops. The local store I go to is upfront about it: when some American IPA is expired re the BBD by six months it’s a freebie as long as I buy other beers.

    Not big on govt regulations but I don’t want to be fooled by some dodgy brewers.

    I guess it it all the same in the EU. The best before assures that some food or drink does not make you fall ill when consumed before that date. No guarantee about taste ofcourse :slight_smile:
    Uiltje (here in NL) uses canning dates.
    Cheers

    We have two versions, the best before, for anything that won’t make you sick, and a stricter last day for consumption for stuff like chicken and pork.

    Finally done working for the day. Cooling off with a Boston Rising from Jack's Abby.

    [​IMG]

    I had a question about this beer since it was listed as retired on BA and there was no date code on the can. I emailed Jack's Abby and here's what they had to say - I already submitted the update to remove the retired status.

    Thank you for reaching out to us with your question about Boston Rising. I'm terribly sorry that there was not a packaging date on those cans. To be honest, we recently commissioned a new state of the art canning line for our facility. Unfortunately, with "state of the art", there are some growing pains and certain components need tweaking along the way in order to make them work properly. This was the case for our date coder. We weren't able to apply date codes to products for a week or two. Boston Rising fell within this range. It was packaged over the course of 2 days, 3/1/22 and 3/2/22. We could not, realistically, shut down our packaging line for two weeks while we waited for the right part to fix our coder, so we opted to package beer without the date code. I'm sorry for the confusion, but am happy to report the coder is fully operational now!

    Thanks for the kind words :slight_smile::sunglasses:. That is indeed the Spencer Abbey where the now defunct Trappist beers were brewed. It's not the actual brewery itself - access to the brewery is restricted and you can't see it from any of the vantage points. Cheers!

    Good afternoon, advocates. Just got back from LI. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Island, I'm glad to be back in PA. Settling in w/ some Basic Set from Saint Errant while I peruse these baseball lineups. Cheers, and much love!

    Greetings All,

    Short, but difficult hike today due to high humidity and my body being broken by yesterday's hill repeats.

    About to start pouring rain here with thunderstorm rumbling, so settling in with this tasty beverage.

    It's the big brother beer to their Do You Want More?!!!??!

    Featuring the same hop lineup: Galaxy + Nelson + Vic Secret

    It is phenomenal as expected.

    Cheers!

    Modestman makes great beers, but the hip-hop references had me at hello. I told them as much the first time I visited. Cheers, brother.
