Troegs Ships Sunshine Pils Cans & Date Coding Decoded

The continued success between Tröegs and its distributors depends upon the presentation of beer to consumers that is crafted with care, fresh when consumed, and consistent. Through strict adherence to our Quality Assurance Standards, we can ensure that our beer successfully completes its journey from our brewery to the palates of our thirsty customers. We recommend the majority of our beers are enjoyed within 4 to 6 months of packaging. A few exceptions apply to our higher gravity beers such as Mad Elf and LaGrave. To guarantee our customers receive the freshest beer possible, we stamp each bottle of Tröegs beer with a “bottled on” date as well as a production “batch date.” Additionally, each case is stamped with a recommended “freshest by” date and should not be sold once this date has passed. Kegs are stamped with a “kegged on” date and should be consumed within 120 days. Please see below for details on our “freshest by” dates and the corresponding bottled beers:

4 Months – Blizzard of Hops, Cultivator, DreamWeaver, HopBack, Hop Knife, Pale Ale, Perpetual IPA, Sunshine Pils
6 Months – JavaHead, Troegenator
1 Year – La Grave, Mad Elf
