Deciphering the Code to Fresh Beer
Monday, January 14th, 2008 by ChrisMost beer lasts four to nine months on the shelf. How do you know the beer you are buying is fresh? If you’re purchasing a beer brewed by Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob etc.) just check out the “Born on Date” to tell you when the beer was bottled. For all other brews, you may have a harder time trying to read the code on the side of the label. Other breweries use pull dates (the date after which a product should no longer be sold) or a Julian date system. Here is a great chart I found on this site to help you decipher the code.
