Freshest is best
Freshness date on the label of a bottle of beer.
 
  • Look for a date on the label to help assess a beer’s freshness. Anheuser-Busch’s “born on” dates are about as clear as it gets, but even then you have to do the math to calculate 110 days from that date.

  • Dates can be harder to decode on many imports.

  • Cans might not look chic, but they protect beer best of all.

  • If you go for glass, dark is better than clear, and brown is better than green.
