Just make sure to keep the cans away from UV light and you should be fine.
Remind me how UV light impacts products that are canned?

$2.50 is an excellent price for tall cans of Red Racer. That means a 7-pack (volume equivalent) can be had for $12.50. And it's one of the best IPAs in Canada. I know what I'll be buying this week!

Picked up a few from King & Spadina, the bottom of the cans say Prod. Jan 21 2014. I may actually prefer a 355mL size, but damn, only a nickel more for the tall can is just awesome!
^funny you should mention that, but I was thinking the same thing at Aurora this afternoon, only the "new" cans there were produced in early december! Went for some feb Headstock instead.
Yeah, that date is well within freshness for cans. I know there's nothing quite like the freshest possible IPA, but even two months is not a ridiculous delay in terms of degradation of flavour.
I had one the other day. It was lovely. What more do you want?
It is probably mostly a mental thing, but I just find it satisfying to have a really fresh (less than one month old) IPA. I did mention my RR cans were damn tasty at 2 months old. I was just hoping the new tall can shipment would hit the shelves a little fresher.
SK got a fresh shipment last summer. Most of us had not had any in a while, as Central City had discontinued distro to AB, SK and MB when they got into Ontario.
Anyways, pretty much everyone commented that it was quite sweet. A fresh shipment of Smashbomb came in at the same time, and it was considerably drier.
I gave away most of my 6-pack... haven't had any since, so no idea if it was just that one batch.
