I think that Stone should really re-evaluate their plan on extending beer dates, do we really want 270 day old beer? Definitely not me, you can always tell a difference between beer that is relatively fresh or beer that has been sitting on the store shelves for some time.<br /><br /><a href="http://thebrewmeister.livejournal.com/6235.html" rel="nofollow">Irvin Moss @ Shop Brewmeister</a>Irvin Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152611049893615960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72277889156220824.post-48924695617593824982015-09-29T13:56:54.573+01:002015-09-29T13:56:54.573+01:00Evidently, it wasn’t Mitch Steele.Evidently, it wasn’t Mitch Steele.Barmhttp://refreshingbeer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72277889156220824.post-41557674854345957542015-09-28T09:57:39.562+01:002015-09-28T09:57:39.562+01:00That's interesting, isn't it?

They turn over very fast, and we only purchase what we will need for the coming couple of weeks. Lots of other breweries have tried to emulate their model, but few have achieved the rapid turnover of stock necessary.

Obviously we have a long way to go to educate people that beer, like bread, stales."Dexternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72277889156220824.post-11461891351897387212015-09-24T21:33:06.400+01:002015-09-24T21:33:06.400+01:00This type of development riles me.

I'm fed up of paying top whack for beers, hoppy ones mainly, that have been sat in a bottle or can for nearly a year. The retailer of course just tells me that the product is still well within it's best before date. Had one the other day that was best before 01/17! Seriously? These beers taste like shit.<br /><br />The Kernel are a great example of being bold about the short shelf life of their IPAs. Fair play to them, although I imagine the retailer is less than impressed.Stuartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72277889156220824.post-46753053450508782372015-09-16T08:43:41.415+01:002015-09-16T08:43:41.415+01:00Deleted as spam, soz Tanders.Deleted as spam, soz Tanders.Zak Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650929798289995172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72277889156220824.post-10507836261521986282015-09-16T08:33:15.360+01:002015-09-16T08:33:15.360+01:00I agree with Tung.
