Radical Road Canny Man

Post by cheechonaleash »

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone happened to know if the date sticker on Canny Man is best before or bottled on? I just pulled one from the cellar with 13/09/24 on it.

UPDATE: I suspect the date is a best before but I drank it last night anyway and it tasted fine to me.

I think that's a bottled on. I can't imagine a beer that big would have a best before of less than a year.

That beer came out in January 2013 so I'm guessing they put it as a BB date of Sept 13, 2024.

Other breweries put crazy BB dates on their beers as well.

BB dates don't mean much anyways, lots of breweries put 6, 9 or 12+ months BB dates on their IPA and they don't really mean much. After 1-2 months it's no longer in it's best condition.

Good catch. Never occurred to me it'd be 2024. Might make it.
