You can drink an IPA that is 6 months old if you want. But it will always taste like it is intended fresh. Most brewers worth their salt have a born on date for that reason.

Old beer is gross. And spending $12 on a 4 or 6 pack for a beer that tasted old, mustey, and stale because the brewers didn't put a stamp date is easily avoidable.

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA only gets better with age. A year or two on the holy grail for hopheads brings out deliciously sweet sherry and marmalade notes. (See – we told you there are no hard-and-fast rules!)

You might not prefer what age does to certain beers, but you don't have to worry about beer going bad.
"If someone grabs a bottle of Black & Blue off the shelf and it says 2009 on it, they shouldn't be afraid to open it," Ryan says. "There's no expiration date. It's just going to be different."
Rebecca agrees.
"It's not milk," she says. "It doesn't go bad on the shelf. It'll never make you sick. It might not be the flavor that you remember, but it might be a flavor that you like even more."
