    Hey folks.

    Quick one - We have been lucky enough to get a shipment of Bear Republic here to Ireland. Picked up some Racer 5 and saw that on the bottom of the bottle under the label was a green stamp with a long numerical code and underneath that was 09-27-13. Is this a bottled on date or a BB? Really hoping its the former!

    Thanks for your help!

    Pretty sure it's a bottled on date.

    bottle date near the bottom below the label or around the bottle. but it's rubbed off pretty easily so good luck.
