    I recently walked into a liquor store that removed the date stickers on 4 packs of Boom Sauce. Kinda shady. Then another store I noticed had two different colors stickers on the same 4 packs. Red ones and green ones. Also sticker dates were 1/5/16 and 1/6/16. Another questionable observation. Why woud the beers be dated 1 day apart with different color stickers. Made me think how easy retailers can manipulate their product. Anyone else experience anything similar? I did not mention anything to clerk I just didn't buy.

    I've noticed the sticker peeling in Mass as well, it's lame.

    Email the brewery. With as competitive shelf space has become, there is no reason for them to deny at least a simple email response back to you. They may even thank you.


    From 2012 to the middle of 2015, La Cumbre (my local brewery that I love) had "generic" white sticker labels on the top of their 4 packs. I noticed a couple places took those labels off from time to time.. I just avoided those places, but I believe I emailed the brewery to let them know that some places are being sneaky with their "product".

    It may even be the distrbutor who takes the date off, so as to not show how old his products were,
