    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.

    Yeah I saw some Ruination bombers dated June 13, 2012 last weekend. Boo

    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.

    Finally found some bottles on the shelves with a date. They were 6/26/12 also.
