And a quick follow up from our earlier post today.

We weren't lying when we said we were continuing to find solutions...

The brewery will continue to tweak as needed.

And, just to confirm, the date on the cans (and cans out there in the market) references the PACKAGED ON date.

That looks great!

I applaud you and the team's move to correct this issue. Looking forward to buying Canuck and the others again.

While I don't need my IPAs to be less than 10days old, if I can't read a date it may as well be 10 months old.

I picked up some cans of Octopus on Sunday here in London. Most of the dates were illegible, but one looked to read March 21.

[gordonpeterwiebe]

yeah, I had trouble reading the octopus dates... but, it's moving so quickly It's pretty much guaranteed to be fresh if you find one!
pro tip: if the cans are still in the case - they stamp the cases with the date as well.

and, really enjoying this tank ten release - the beer itself as well as the fact that it's in a can and not a bomber.

Given the context, I know what date is being expressed, but if I found this on a shelf sometime in June, I wouldn't know if it was April 5 or May 4. Suggest you use the format yyyy-mm-dd

Or May 16, 2004...

Had last of stock of Octopus from Spadina/Dundas today, date was so blurry it was illegible as heck but OMG tasted fresh. Worth a grab if anyone can find some.

[El Pinguino]

I guess its not mandatory for beer, but ya...the official packed-on and best by formatting is YYMMDD in Canada, with the MM actually being 2 letters so as to avoid any confusion at all.

But ya, compared to my Octopus cans, that looks great...

Picked up a few Headstocks in Niagara Falls today with a 04/06/16 brew date. Also noticed they've changed the colors a bit on the can again. It's a darker tone now.

I assume you meant 'canning' date?

Yes sir. Although it'd be nice if it was brewed 2 days ago.

as someone who drinks 2 day old beer weekly I can assure you that you dont want to drink 2 day old beer. it tastes a lot better when its fermented out, dry hopped and packaged IMO

Carbonation is a nice touch too.
