    Just picked up some Duvel (one of my all-time favourite beers) and noticed it has a expiry date of February 2016. How long do they normally give from the bottle date?

    According to this thread, it's either 2 or 3 years.

    Since I can't edit anymore, the Duvel I just bought (from a store that has a pretty high turnover) has a date of 10/2016, so it's definitely not 3 years, but 2 (or something in between, like 25 months).

    Just checked mine, 08/2016, which is a surprise as I figured they had been sitting on the shelf for some time.

    I was inspired (or bored) enough to send them an email, be interesting to see what response I get.

    @Heretic42 I just got this response:
    So it looks like 30 months is the magic number!
