    Picked up a 6er of Space Dust dated:
    14Nov16 DA 15
    I assumed it was the bottling date. Was I wrong?

    You're correct. What else did you think it might be? Brew date?

    Probably expiration date. Didn't ABI just stop doing bottle date to go back to expiration date?

    The "best by" date for all Elysian beers was January 2015 if I remember correctly.

    Use by date.
    Had I known this was an AB/Inbev product I would have avoided it. It's not very good and plenty expensive.

    Shame. It used to be a really nice brew.

    From the brewery, "The date on our bottles (and most other beers besides Budweiser and Bud Light) are born on dates".
