Anheuser and Busch "born on date"?!
AB puts a "born on date" instead of an expiration date, no doubt because they know that most consumers don't know how long a beer stays fresh, including me!. So!.!.!.how long does it take a beer before it becomes "expired"!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
So, how can you tell if beer is stale!? One way is to check the "born on" dates that are stamped on the bottles or cans!. Anheuser-Busch started applying these dates to their products so consumers could see for themselves when the beer was made!. It takes approximately a month's time to make a batch of beer!. Then, tack on an additional week for the packaging and the shipping to take place!. That tells you that beer is approximately thirty-seven days old by the time it arrives at your local store!. Still fresh!? Probably so!. (Since imported beer as to travel much farther to reach store shelves, it's older yet!.) Anheuser-Busch considers its beer to be fresh for four months from the "born on" dates on the bottles or cans, for example!. How long different brands of beers stay fresh actually depends on the manufacturer's own time table!.
But, other than looking at the bottle or can of beer for its "born date", then calculating whether it's fresh or stale by how old it is, there are other ways how to tell if beer is stale or not!. The best way to do this is by pure taste!. You see, even if a beer is within its "fresh, drinkable age", if it didn't come from the manufacturer fresh, then it didn't arrive at the store fresh either!. And, of course, you bought stale beer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
