Sixpoint Bengali Best Buy Date

Perhaps you are suspicious of it because of all the chatter on here about 24 hours past canning is too many?

Several factors go into setting a best by date, the most important of which is the amount of residual oxygen left in the container after it is filled. Some bottling lines give a shelf life of 3 months, others give a shelf life of 5-6 months. One of the virtures of a properly maintained canning line is that it extends the shelf life even further.

Will the beer taste different at 6 months than at 1 week? Of course. The issue is really whether or not the beer is still enjoyable or is showing signs of being stale at the best by age.

I just finished a DIPA which when fresh had an almost overwhelming bitterness for me that masked the other hop flavors. Tonight's beer was about 4-5 weeks past canning and much more enjoyable for me that the first, freshest can I had 3-4 weeks ago.

 

I think it is a 12 month best by date.
Of course when I was in the store yesterday i forgot that and stopped reading when I saw best by July. I have to go back because I am pretty sure it was July 2016. If so I will be buying some

 

only Bengali, Sweet Action, and Crisp have that one-year dating for our core beers - solely for export reasons (batch dating)

Resin is currently set at 7 months -

we are in the process of reviewing our code dating, but as you may (or may not) know, its complicated - because we have to do this in collaboration with our wholesalers. That being said, significant progress has already been made, and there is more coming in the future...

p.s. regarding "variety packs" - once again our turnaround speed on taking feedback and delivering outstanding products will be blinding, sit tight and wait for imminent updates

 

Thanks for the confirmation. My to do list now includes purchasing some very fresh Bengali.

 

I always check dates. Gotta be fresh, Please !!

 

I can attest to Resin and Bengali tasting as good as ever 6 months deep.
