    Hit my local store tonight, new "old school" Sculpin labeling (white) jumped off the shelf at me. When did this happen? Didn't see this on here anywhere. No bottle date that I can tell, hoping this stuff is very fresh and new. Bottle days SC 304 on one line then 13210.

    They just started distributing the new labels over the summer. I feel like Sculpin was last in the Ballast Point line, although I found it in cans in the new label way before I found it in bottles in the new label.

    13210 is the bottle date (julian). I believe they used to have an Enjoy by date but now use bottle date. 13210 = July 29th

    Seems like they are changing their date methodology every couple of months. July 29th, I can live with that. Need to drink this stuff this weekend.

    If you happen to get Sculpin cans, there should be a white sticker on the bottom of the cardboard box with the same julian date format.

    How much in your area? 6 packs in MA are $12 which I think is very reasonable.

    It's 13 to 16 most places. Even in San Diego I've seen it for $15.

    Sculpin is amazing when I drink/ buy it in San Diego, but buying where I live in coachella valley which is two hour drive away, the awesomeness of the beer just goes down instantly , would hate to see how it tastes in florida

    How does 13210 = July 29? If you add the digits it = 7 = July? Where does the 29th come from? Thanks.

    13 = the year
    210 = 210th day of the year = 29 July 2013

    Enjoy

    It depends how fresh it is. I've been able to get it a couple times within two weeks after bottling, and it was great.

    Thats damn impressive to find bottles that fresh all the way across the country. Given the fact Jai Alai is usually about 11 bucks a sixer, 15 for a beer all the way from San Diego is more than fair imo (not that you complained about the price, just saying).

    Jesus, why can't they just clearly label the bottled-on date?
