    IIRC, Monkey Paw only canned once, over a year ago.

    is Butte Creek even a brewery anymore? I used to bottle for them in Chico years ago...thought they were long gone.

    OK, just went to their website and now see that Mendo brewing bought out the name, and now brews the beer in Ukiah.

    no doubt beachwood are normally super fresh! when they release a beer its always bottled 2 or 3 days ago and it hits the stores by monday.

    alphine, not sure about the freshness but regardless its a good damn beer! i still have a bottle left of nelson :grinning:

    No bottling dates on Alpine or Beachwood.

    It is not like anyone is going to find old Alpine on the shelves anyway though.
