That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.
So that means bottled in august. 2 months on it, same as the Green Flash.
Thanks for the heads up. I went and bought a sixer of the Nov expiry since ill have to make a drive to Toronto to get the fresh batch. Its noticebly dated but not a drainpour yet. Glad to hear a new batch is in, figured there wouldn't be a fresh batch till the Founders feature in two months.

Which location did you get the fresh stuff at as I was at the Cooper St and Front Street locations in Toronto on the weekend and they still had some of the older shipments left on the shelves. I would love to get the fresh stuff! Thanksdale cannon wrote:I picked up some Founders Centennial today that is stamped 'Best By 12/06/2014'.heebes wrote:2 months old...and that's the new batch.

Really good site and I bookmarked it. Thanks.
Only thing is that there is no listing of Nickel Brook on the list. I was wondering what is the order of their brew date if anyone knows. Would it happen to be MM/DD/YYYY?
yep, you have the correct format for Nickelbrook - I have some Naughty N in the fridge marked 09/14/13

Actually checked stock on this last night... All of it is in Ottawa area.spinrsx wrote:apparently these are now available in the states.. be nice if the lcbo started carrying this format as well
Did you get it late or not popular there? In either case, buy it up folks... Hopefully more comes and it doesn't get 'discontinued'.
I haven't seen it much recently, but I only go to one of the stores it's at right now and they didn't have it last time I was in. There hasn't been a fresh batch in a while here, either, I believe. I'm doing my part, checked in 35 times thanks to Untappd (my most consumed beer) and those were all LCBO bought!
