Good lawd this place is dead.

Took the day off to rip carpet out of the first floor of our house so that I can refinish the hardwood underneath. Many beers will be imbibed this eve.
Do you have experience refinishing hardwood floors yourself? Never done it, but always sounded like a pretty time-consuming process.

I've done it. Not too bad unless if some dummy painted portions of the floors like in my house
 
Just a word to the wise, beware of bottle dates on Stillwater IPAs. Already made Mr. Edwards aware but I grabbed a 4pk of Why Can't IBU last night at WF Wexford and it was bottled in late 2015.
 
Have to rent (or own) special equipment though right? Floor sanders and whatnot? How many days do you expect the entire process to take?
Yeah but it's pretty cheap. You can sand a few rooms in a day. Then you gotta stain, wait to dry, few coats of poly, wait to dry

But it wasnt bottled in 2015... I have a message in to the brewery for help decoding it.

Yep. It sucks massive amounts of ass, but saves a ton of money.
There is another option that's affordable and that's a chemical stripping and refinishing. They gotta be in pretty good condition to do that though

In case that's difficult to read. I interpret that as 328th day of 2015. 08:03 could either be time or line. I doubt it means August 3rd considering that's the day I bought it.

If you find out something different, let me know.

Whenever I see date codes on bottles like that, I put it right back down on the shelf. My lazy ass buys something else that's formatted in normal code rather than trying to decipher that ****.

I've always assumed that those sorts of formats have less to do with dates than they do bottling runs or whatever. Basically just always dismissed as not at all useful.

I saw a beer I haven't had before from Stillwater, remembered they JUST launched in this market, assumed it was fresh, and bought it. Egg on my face.

Nothing against them, but I never buy IPA s from them in NY due to they sit on the shelf forever and never get removed at almost every bottle shop.

Figured I'd give it a shot. Knew nothing about it so I rolled the dice. Was pissed when I figured out it was a belgian IPA. Not my speed. Like at all.
