    Why is there no longer a best by date on ballast point beers? There is a code on the label but I don't know if it is a best by date of some sort or not. Anyone know what the deal is?

    It is Julian dating. It will say the Day# and the year in the bottom left hand corner.

    Ex:

    25013

    250th day of 2013, I type that in to my phone to get the exact date.

    Cheers

    I like the new labels. Very well done. As mentioned the date code is just done differently.

    I agree, such a cleaner looking label on all their products now.

    Wouldn't it be great to have a beer decoding code " best by" app ;-)
