What does the date on the bottle / case mean?
The date printed on each of our bottles, cases and variety packs is the date on which the beer was packaged. For example, if the number on the bottle reads “01202018” that particular bottle was packaged on January 20, 2018. On the variety packs, the “Packaged On” date is stamped on the top of the box and is the date on which the bottles inside were packaged. “Bottled On” and “Packaged On” dates are stamped on the sides of cases.
