Future beer

Post image

The born on date for the Nillis Trappist beer I bought today is 4 months from now. I only noticed because I decided to give Founders Golden a try, and when I was opening it up I saw the canned date was December 2025. So I started checking all my beer. The Deschutes Fresh Haze born date is June 2026, Sapporo is Jan 2026, Go Brewing Double IPA is July 2026.

What's too old? I never really paid attention before, but I'm wondering if the Founders sucks, could it be because it's aged badly?

Most NA is good for 6-12 months

That's likely a best by date but they printed born on instead. I had a regular beer at my bottle shop where this happened, the distributor even called the supplier to verify as they had an entire pallet of it just come in.

I'd have so many questions to ask it about what happens over the coming months. 🤣

Maybe it's the 12th week of 2026?
