I normally assume that it is a bottling date unless it specifically says best buy.

I'm the same way Steve, I just know different breweries have different methods and was curious if anyone knew for sure

The date on the bottles of the current version of Bally IPA is indeed the packaging date.

We are only getting cans of it. I really like it, but it is $10 a six so unless I find a coupon I typically spend the money on something else. Of course I do have another two six packs sitting around waiting to be consumed.

I sure wish they would ship to AZ... I've been working on a clone of this stuff for years... still can't get The Professor to send me his recipe!  :)

I'm still working on mine. Getting closer I think. It would be nice to try the Pabst version.

I am reminded that I have unopened pounds of Cluster and Bullion in the freezer. I need to do this one soon.

My batch of Steele's Ballantine is on the slate for the very near future
