This is dumb, 3 months old is expired? Please. Beer, even crappy watery pisswater wouldn't drink it if you paid me mass-produced beers like Budweiser, do not expire until maybe after 2 years. Unless, of course, it gets warm and then chilled again. Which I admit, is almost guaranteed to be the case, but I would bet that no venue keeps their bottled beers chilled round the clock. Do you think they toss the extras at the end of an event? Why pay $12 (or whatever it is now) for crap beer anyways, real beer doesn't even cost that much. No one would ever tell the difference if there wasn't a FIFA World Cup logo on it.

Beer Snob Rant Over . . . Sorry for that.

I don't drink Bud but it's shelf life is 90/120 days (I worked for them for 5 years )

Since you worked for them, then you must know enough about beer to know that it doesn't go bad that fast, especially not the mild pilsner type that Bud makes. The Bud expiration date is and has been a marketing ruse to sell more beer.

If beer went bad that quickly, there'd be more beers with expiration dates, just like milk.

Many of the craft brews sold in Maryland do either have a sell by or a bottled date. I would say the fundamental difference is that expired milk is a health issue and expired beer is not.

True. Many craft brews have flavors which may degrade over time, hence the "bottled" dates, which are not the same as "expiration" dates. Since Bud has no flavor to degrade to begin with, this is not an issue for it. Plus, Bud's 120 days is a ridiculously short period of time for beer. Beer has alcohol; it keeps.

But comparing Bud to craft beer is not fair. If we compare it to its peers like Miller, we see the others don't have expiration dates. Hence my comparison to milk, which as you state is not a safety issue with beer. But if beer really did go bad as Bud says, then its peer beers would also have expirations.

Some Beer is pasteurized and some is not ,the ones that aren't last around 30 days as long as they are out of the light and kept cold .

Naw man. You really worked for Bud? Were you a truck driver or something? You sure were not the brewmaster.

I have made and tasted many a homebrewed and commercial beer which was not filtered or otherwise treated (sometimes still had active yeast), and they were fine long after the brewing. I had one yeast-in porter seven years after brewing and it still was awesome.

A familiar example: Trappist ale from Belgium. It is untreated, unfiltered, yeast-in, and left its homeland in Belgium who knows how long ago. But boy is it yummy.

Let me ask you, do you know why most beers come in bottles of color ? Do you know what skunk beer is ?As Matty said the dates on beer are 95% sell buy dates ,doesn't mean the beer is bad just must be sold by this date .

I wasn't disagreeing with your assertion of bottle color. Of course light harms beer, so a darker bottle is better.

I obviously was disagreeing with your factually incorrect account of "unpasteurized" beer going bad after 30 days.

Oh, what a surprise, someone from Budweiser that knows nothing about beer.

I was reading a book about the history of beer written by a former brew master for whom I cannot remember. However in the book he adamantly claims the warming and chilling of beer is an "old beer drinkers tale" I still cannot bring myself to buy or drink beer that I know has been recooled though personally.

Totally wives tale. Sunlight is the destroy of beer.
