    So, for the record I can't confirm the date info but when the new label came out they didn't put the date on them. The last two times I have bought GF palate wrecker and soul Style had dates, which I know are new releases.

    I am always suprised by Total Wine as well. I found some drakes pale ale that was almost a year old. Plus, the majority of their stuff sits on the room temp shelfs. I never buy beer from total wine if it doesn't have a date. My local bottle shop that stores everything in coolers and doesn't stock a billion different beers I'll take a chance in non dated IPAs/pales.

    Yeah I'm with you, at Total Wine I check every date. Some stuff like Cigar City, Sierra Nevada, Oscar Blues I can get within a week of bottling/canning. Other stuff not so much. ABC by me isn't any better, they often have 6+ month old Southern Tier stuff on the shelf. I can almost judge the date by the dust level before I even touch the bottle haha.
