    I'm in the mood for heavy drinking this evening and it would matter little what date was on the can.

    Ah drink it for **** sake, the longer it is out of date, the more time it has to responsibly increase its alcohol saturation. Be warned of possibly getting in the morning a) a dose of the ****s like napalm or b) your brain will feel like its being pulled out of your skull

    No it's not.

    Carrots exist in alcohol.

    You should first flog yourself for allowing beer to sit around for so long, then immediately drink it to try to drown the shame of being so dishonorably bush league.

    Its "best before date" and not "use by date", many use these interchangeably without a thought of what the words mean. "use by" is usually used on products like meat which should be used by a certain date otherwise they can get diseased and cause real sickness. "best before" means just that, it is at its best before that date and usually will only decrease in taste quality after that. If there was no "best before" some retailers would bulk buy to save money, sell years later and give the brand a bad name since the product will not taste great. Also the labels go tatty, faded or have the old logo etc.

    Some tins or packs of food have a best before up to 3 years away, yet I know people who think once the clock strikes midnight after that 3 years that it suddenly turns to a mouldy poisonous substance, yet would have gladly eaten it the day before.

    Carbon dioxide can escape through the can or bottle, albeit very slowly, whereas PET plastic bottles are far more porous and can go flatter faster.

    When making these "best before" dates the manufacturers are taking into account the worst case scenario they can, they do not want their beer reaching a customer tasting off. Clear glass bottles will go bad in the sun, faster than coloured bottles. Storing at high temperatures has an exponentially adverse affect on most food & drink. Therefore they take the worst case, a retailer storing the beer in the sunny window of his shop, during a heatwave with constant 30-35C heat.
    So yes in that case it would taste a bit off after 6 months. But if stored properly it will be good for several years.

    thing is though, it does not indicate which it is, it has a manufacturing ate and a date after that, roughly 1 year later, it doent say use by of best before.

    I would presume BB when it does not specifically say "use by". It is usually fairly obvious from the product, e.g. sugar would be BB, raw meat would be "use by". Use bys are usually a relatively short period of time. Just look at other brands of the same product if you are unsure, some other beer will have BB on it.

    If a beer has a particular promo on it, e.g. rugby heineken cans, then it might have a closer BB, this is just so the shops are not selling old looking cans, with sports events now over.

    Easter eggs can have shorter dates so retailers will not hang onto them for next year, and have out of date packaging. Same with christmas branded foods, I got loads of KP nuts with santas on the pack with short sell bys, straight after christmas.
