    Just tapped at home a 1/6 keg of firestone walker double jack that is dated 3/24/12. Was wondering if kegged IPA last only a few months like bottles or is their longevity lengthened due to the forced CO2?

    According to what I've been reading on this site, you have about 6 days to drink it all before you drain pour.

    By the time you fill a glass with an IPA, the top half is still drinkable but the bottom half is a drainpour
