Here's what tne New York Times has to say about it
"Each major brewer sets a limit on the number of days its brands may stay on the shelf, invariably no more than 120 days after manufacture. Microbrewery brands are not pasturized or filterered, and these brands start to taste bad at a far earlier date. While no one will get ill from this beer, it will certainly not taste as good as it should."

Depends on where its left, out in the sunlight, about a day or so, in the fridge about 2 or 3 months in a cool dry dark place about 6 or 7 months. Check the "Best By Date".

Wish I could tell you, but I've never seen a beer hang around long enough to even question it. Good luck!

Go with the "born on date" 1 month after that. I dont usually have that problem.

I would think they last a few months. but why would you keep beer that long.
