More good advice, because it never occurred to me to check dates... I do have a basic grasp of what the different styles are all about, but am definitely a neophyte when it comes to craft beer protocol
Haven't checked yet, but will soon... its certainly likely my hoppy choices are past the "best by" date

Dates can be a bit of a pain, especially with the mix 6 section as there is no standardization breweries are required to follow
Date stamps can get smudged, or wear off
Some are just hard to read
Some stamp the box the beer comes in, so when its broken down into individual bottles/cans they may not even have a date
Some do a package date, some do a drink by date
Some are formatted different and can look like gibberish
Some skip it altogether
Makes it hard for exploratory drinkers which is a shame but there's costs involved with dating packages, etc. So I get it a bit but it can be frustrating
Either way, hope you enjoy them
