Quality
Funky Buddha is proud to use high quality, natural ingredients in its beers. This includes everything from traditional ingredients like high-aroma hops to non-traditional ones like fresh-roasted coffee, vanilla beans, and whole fruit. The flavors that these ingredients impart in our beers are bold and vibrant. As such, our beers taste best when they are at their freshest. We take great effort to ensure freshness in market and ask the same stewardship of our distributors.
Funky Buddha recommends the following to ensure the best tasting beer possible:
Consume fresh, within recommended timeframe from date code production date. How do you find this date? We code our bottles, cans, mother cartons, and pallets with a “born on date.” This date code can be found on:
Bottles
The bottle shoulder, just above the body label but below the neck label. This code appears in black ink in MM/DD/YYYY format preceded by the words “bottled on.”
Carton
On the top of each mother carton. This code is in Month DD YYYY format. This code also appears on can cartons on the top panel.
Pallet
Each pallet is labeled and dated with item name, item#, batch #, and date in MM/DD/YY format.
Can
Date codes on cans are located on the bottom of each primary in DDMMMYY format.
Can Carriers
Date codes on can carriers are located on the top, right corner of each secondary in DDMMMYY format in white ink
Seltzer Carriers
Date codes on seltzer carriers are located on the side panel, top right corner of each secondary in MMMDDYYYY format.
