But it's not as old as the brewery in https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-45534133 which was touched on in a previous thread.

And so was born the age old debate about wether beer has a use by date.

The yays will point to the label.

The nays will point to these sites, and to their lived experience of always running out of supplies before that can test any that have passed said label date

ahhhh but for beer its a 'best before' not a 'use by' thus allowing the individual to make their own mind up when they find a can of McEwans lurking in the garage from that 1999 New Years Eve party
