    My bottle of Stone Ruin Ten is 5/14. It had just arrived at the store. Does Stone delay the release date?

    I found one in Fort Wayne, IN yesterday that was, I want to say, bottled on 6/24 or something like that. It was definitely a June bottle. Maybe 6/9.

    My bottles say 06/09/14. Maybe the month smeared off of yours and the 14 stands for the year?

    I grabbed a couple of bottles while in NC, and they were bottles 6/9. I was kind of disappointed, but it still tasted delicious. Hopefully we can get some of the 6/24.

    The other bottles in the store were the same date.

    I doubt Stone was holding it. If it sat around at all it was probably under the watch of the regional distributor.

    I've only seen 6/19 around here, but I doubt that 5/14 bottle will kill ya :slight_smile:

    Ok- definitely looks like an older run, then.

    It was quite hoppy- excellent, but the grapefruit and citrus usually prominent in a West Coast DIPA were missing.
    It could be the brew date, or it could be the recipe.

    I can't find a date on mine, other than the 2014 in the center.

    As persnickity as Stone is, I'm sure our shipment of RuinTen is fine and fresh.

    Distributor's are another story.

    No, but if it's last years release it's going to taste like shit.
