I know they are bringing the Saint of Circumstance to the LCBO soon, perhaps they don't have the financial capability to run both products yet

How difficult is it for breweries to do this:

no kidding. the early batches had good ink in them but subsequent ones are just garbage to read.

honestly i would be more inclined to buy beer from breweries if they used the Bell's system.

I had to look at over a dozen bottles the other day before I could find one that was legible

I genuinely believe it's a conspiracy amongst brewers to put illegible (if at all) brewed on/best by dates on their products.

If I wasn't clear enough earlier, the Bell's system is FAR AND AWAY THE BEST THERE IS.

Totally agree with all of the above and must add, wait till your eyes start going and you have to remember to bring your reading glasses! However, Even when not smudged, you have to hold the bottle in a particular way so its illuminated from behind at just the right angle--totally frustrating; Naughty and Smashbomb are also like this.
