How long does Beer stay fresh?

First off, I rarely drink any alcohol. I gave up drinking alcohol in 1994 at the requestof my girlfriend. NOT because I had to, but because she was a health nut. (She ran marathons, including the NY Marathon. ) Her idea of a "Fun Run" was to go out and do a quick 13 miles. My idea of a "Fun Run" was to run to the bathroom during half time of a COLTS game! Though, that's not the reason it didn't last.

I always keep beer and wine in the fridge for friends who stop buy. I have had this 3 out 4 pack of aluminum bottled Mich Ultra in my fridge for a while. I looked at the "Born On" date and it was Aug 2008! :eek: I figured it had to be pretty skunky by now!

So, I poured it out. During the last bottle, I decided to take a swig of beer, expecting it to taste pretty nasty! I was surprised that it tasted extremely smooth! In fact, I quickly finished off the bottle! (I didn't say I don't know how to drink.)

How long does beer stay fresh? (I know some of you are going to say, as long as it takes to get from the grocery store cooler to your lips!)

I work for miller and bud products like mich ultra are the same. From born on date they have 9 months "shelf life" (just to ensure customers get fresh product). In reality approx 26-30 months from born on till you might be able to tell any difference in taste.
