I would love to see founders in MD. ive never tried any of their selections.

i understand founders wanting controls on having their beer be fresh ... magruders on conn ave in dc had founders beer brewed in 2014 sitting on the shelf when i went a few weeks ago.

does anyone home brew?

That is the reason I will not buy anything without a bottled on date. A best buy date is passable but not ideal. I've spent alot of money on beer in my time and have dropped 10+ bucks on a bomber only to find its oxidized and skunked.

yeah ive started to only buy beer w born on or best buy dates. burnt too many times. this stuff costs too much money as is.

grapefruit and habernaro sculpin has been on the shelves for the past few weeks in MD but i cant find or figure out the bottle date. regular sculpin has a easy to figure out code printed on each bottle.

Date Stamp Guide | Ballast Point

SC = sculpin
311= batch no.
15=2015
93=93rd day of 2015

but grapefruit doesnt have any such printed on codes. i havent pulled the trigger.

anyone know anything about DOB for grapefruit or hab? their website doesnt help.

fresh beer tastes soo much better. ill drink a 90 day old beer but if i can get 2 hearted that was brewed 14 days ago, its hard to pass up.

i found like a 98 day old duchetes fresh squeeze in the back corner of my fridge and had to pour it out. i felt like such a snobby uppity yuppity bitch .. but it tasted bad.
