Many beers, including the vaste majority of beer sold, get old and stale rather fast- 3-6 months is the limit for "light lagers"- these beers are meant to be consumed as fresh as possible. Some brewers put a date on their beers. Like many food items, it's often a "Best by" date, which implies it's still drinkable AFTER that date, "just not as good" (to quote Randy Newman). It'll never get to the point where it will kill you. Sometimes they put a date when it was packaged and it's up to the consumer to decide if they want to drink/buy it. Other times, the date is hidden by a date code, and is for the retailer/distributors (who ignore it, generally) rather than the consumer. like Heineken Oh, geez, Heineken expires about 30 minutes after light hits that f*ckin' green bottle but Heineken drinkers get used to it and think it's SUPPOSED to be skunky. ....all this Huh? |
