Anyone else notice that the bombers were bottled 5/30 and the 12 Oz were bottled 5/28? U guys got anything different? they must have just bottled the bombers right at the end because of less packaging
Not unusual to see something like that as the bottling line often has to be completely stopped, reset for either of the two different sizes when changing from one to another and then stopped and reset to go back to the other. So its probably also two different batches one bottled in 12 oz size and the other in 22 oz. BTW, You didn't mention which beer, also Enjoy by Dates and Bottled on Dates are two different things. But it sounds like your examples come "bottled on" so maybe you want to change the title a bit?
The bottled on dates will be different. I am sure it takes a while to brew an entire batch of enjoy by. They aren't going to change the enjoy by date in the name of the beer because the enjoy by date is how batches are kept separate.
If Stone had any integrity, they should have released an Enjoy By 7/4/15 and an Enjoy By 7/6/15. Oh, the humanity! (Which one was the better batch?).
It could be the exact same batch and just a line change for the bottles (reprogramming of filling, capping, etc...makes sense that different size bottles would be run separately).
I agree, but what I was saying was it probably takes more than a day to bottle an entire enjoy by batch, and changing the name of the beer because it was bottled a day or two later makes no sense.
