    Supposedly Backwoods Bastard is now available year round? I bought a 4 pack today and looked for the bottle date. None on the neck. The bottom numbers: 90928 21A0429
    Do this mean best by 4/29/21?

    It should be on the back label. They list the bottled date.

    Unless you want to know the date for your own comparison purposes for another bottle of that beer, the date really shouldn't matter. That's a great beer old or young.

    Last night I drank one bottled on 8/26/2019 and it was excellent! I think it’s best at about 6 months.

    Love seeing Founders Barrel aged 12oz beers on the shelves. Always ready for a inexpensive purchase and no worries on freshness issues.

    I absolutely adore this beer. I just hope that it moves enough so that they don’t have to consider discontinuing it. That would be awful...
