    I just bought some Breakfast Stout and I can't find a bottled on date on the bottle. I have one from last year and the bottled on date is very easy to see. Did Founders change the way it's displaying the bottled on date? Does anyone know how I would find it?

    That's right. They redesigned their labels to includes a space for the bottling date directly on the back label. Much easier to read. They also moved the ABV and IBU to the back label from the neck label.

    I did pick up a bottle of Spectra Trifecta that had the new label design but not the bottling date. I'm guessing the date stamp equipment wasn't ready when they bottled that.

    This is the best packaging innovation Founders has ever had. Maybe the only one, but still.

    If the date is not on the back label, I've seen plenty that have the date stamped in black on the front label at the bottom.

    Thanks to all. I found it on the label. Hard to see unless you know where to look.
