What bothers me is not that Labatts closed the brewery, I mean we all knew that was going to happen, its the fact that they weren't stand up guys and let somebody else takeover.

Sooo confusing!!!! Probably produced March and April 2009 which makes a best before of March and April 2010 or, now.

Yeah, The Beer Store is selling all of the Steelback at the lowest possible price until it's all gone. None of it is old code, at least at our store, as we recently sent some old codes back and received some more stuff in. We still have Light, Dark, Lager, and the Honey Brown. I haven't yet tried a...
