I guess we're spoiled - while the LC fails at getting us some IPAs nearly as fresh as we'd like, at least we rarely find years-old stock lurking on the shelves here as we can in some USA retail shops.

^ yes we 'rarely' find super old stock, getting stung does happen. I just mean it's not such a minefield up here as it can be stateside.

Of course with the LC we're pretty well-informed in advance what's arriving fresh anyway.

There's always the chance that the flat has been recycled. They date their cans (I believe) so it would be easy to check.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.
