    Example: Genesee Cream Ale 12-pack cans C146 1301:13
    C=March (the third month of the year)
    14 (date)
    6 (2016)

    1 (Rochester, NY brewery)
    3 (production line #)
    01:13 (hour/minute 1:13AM)

    Code was on the carton and on the bottom of each can, I figure. Got this info straight from the horse's mouth (I mean Clydesdale's) ... the AB distributor in my area (R. H. Barringer-Greensboro, NC) also has Genesee among its brands. The beer is good for 140 days from the 3/14/16 "born on" date above. Genesee contract brews Narragansett Lager - which I also enjoy - so the codes apply to it, too.
    P.S.- Harris-Teeter had the Genesee 12-pack for only $6.99 on 5-22.
