Kawartha Lakes Brewery Pale Ale

I bought a case of this last night when I returned my bottles to TBS. They took the liberty to "cellar" this for me. I couldnt find a bottling or best before date on the packaging or the bottles but the case was really dusty and the staff told me that this was their last case and it had be...
