Best Answer

If you are referring to the extra digit or digits after the year on a date that's in January or February, that is to clarify which year they are referring to, since under the Julian calendar January 1 was not universally accepted as the beginning of the year. Many considered March 1 to be the first day of the year. So if you put both possibilities on a date between January 1 and March 1, everyone knows what year you are referring to.

The 1st digit "5" is the production number. The 2nd digit "3" is the year produced - in this case '2003'. The last three digits "304" tell you the Julian Calendar date (in other words the year's day number, there are 365 days in a year) - this case is October 31st.


How do you read Julian dates on beer?

The Julian date code assigns a three-digit number to each day of the year, from 001 (January 1st) to 365 (December 31st). A fourth digit designates the year, such as the number 6 to represent 2006. So…bottle produced on January 15th 2005 would carry this Julian date code: 0155 (015 = January 15th and 5 = 2005)

What is todays Julian date?

Scientific Julian date depends not only on date, but also on time For example, 26 of January 2012, 20:33:38 (8PM) makes JD=2455953.356689815 But militaries use Julian Date in another way and 26 of January 2012 for militaries makes 201226. Actually militaries do not use "Julian Date", they use "Ordinal Date" (but they call it Julian)
