    Has anyone else noticed recent batches of Arctic Panzer Wolf and Apocalypse Cow don't have bottle dates on them? Specifically the ones sent into distro (found mine in OH). Haven't seen this before. Wondering if its just a limited batch, bottle shop wiping them off, or if its widespread.

    I also noticed this on the Zombie Dust that was bottled Thursday 6/4, that a friend picked up at the brewery on Friday 6/5. It tastes fresh and it never lasts more than a day or two there, so I'm guessing someone at FFF can answer. Maybe the coding machine is/was down? Their beer sells so fast most places I rarely question the date.

    Yeah something must be up. I know what you mean, however sometimes bombers of their DIPAs can take a few weeks to hit distro in OH and then sometimes they will sit another two to three weeks at certain shops so I always check the dates. Especially considering we pay around $13 a bomber here, deff want to know its worth the price tag.

    I checked, the date coder was out of service for a few days last week. All back to normal.

    Well if thats the case, at least you know that if your bottles aren't dated they are only a week or so old. Awesome.
