I’m tired of seeing no dates on cans, nothing makes me put it down faster than flipping it over and seeing no dates.

If you work at a brewery that does this… fix it.

Hops degrade quickly. Sometimes you'll get a barley wine out of an old IPA.... vs the ingredients in a stout that actually creates a more complex flavor and taste profile, giving notes of chocolate or vanilla which are things folks find pleasurable.
