    Saw one that was dated - had it below the label like the above pic, but most that I've seen remain undated and therefore I haven't bought any in quite some time. Having same issue with Stone IPA.

    Just checked our 4pks. We have one with no date (bottled in April I believe; they've always dated their cases) and a recently opened case dated 6/26 on the bottles.

    Yes sometimes the cases is hard to find (for consumers). Glad dated bottles are trickling in. I will keep an eye out.
    Thanks

    Now I can keep track of how old my Vert is.

    I always store 1 of 4...probably got 5-6 stored up over these past 6 months. You can definately notice a difference..the older have more bite.

    Oh and thank f-ing god they use normal date syntax. F the breweries that use some ridiculous alphanumeric coding

    Probably just old ones. Bottle dating is great but problem of getting old beer off the shelves still needs to be solved.
