Toppling Goliath coming to MA?

6.

 

King Sue cans dated 12/20 have a best by date of 4/19/19- I certainly don't expect them to hang around my house that long but I find it curious that they give such a long window. Anyone try a 4 month old King Sue before? The HF cans I also have in my fridge have a 6 week best by date. and I believe Tree House says 6-8 weeks for their hoppy stuff. Are TH and HF just being overly cautious or will they last much longer? I will say that I tried a Green and Haze from early October (oldest TreeHouse ipas I have had) last night and they definitely were not as good fresh, but certainly still drinkable.

 

I think it all depends on their canning line and maybe a few more things. The more sophisticated the line the the more effective it is at keeping O2 out. There are a few other variables as well but mostly it’s packaging equipment related. I would bet as long as they’re kept cold those King Sues will last quite a while.

 

5 4-packs of King Sue at Luke's Liquors in Canton, 12/20 canning date, if anyone's looking for it.

 

Yeah these aren’t flying off the shelf like previous drops.

 

I for one am glad to hear it- King Sue is one of my favorites and I would rather not have to rush out to pick it up.

 

King Sue is "somewhat" easy to find now. Certainly easier than even a couple weeks ago. Been able to find it at a few different CBCs

 

Just drank my last Sosus that was now almost 6 weeks old and it was fantastic, zero fade. Top 2 mosaic beers I’ve had in the last 12 months. That and S&S6. TG has a great lot of Mosaic that’s for sure.
