    I intend to trade for NG fruit beers, namely Raspberry Tart and Strawberry Rhubarb. Part of the trade discussion will undoubtedly include an inquiry as to the bottle date of the NG beers but what I don't know is how long these beers hold up for. Can anyone provide some advice particularly with an estimated duration in your answer? Will they hold up a year or two from bottle date?

    Thanks!

    While I cant speak on how well they will hold in the bottle, or if they actually date these bottles. Its worth noting these are pretty easy to find on shelves, so I cant imagine many bottles would be 2+ years old.

    I know at Ridgeview Liquor in Green Bay they would sell these by the case load during packer season.

    I'm headed back to WI this weekend, if you are interested DM me.

    Yea you don't have to worry about date, they can sit for a long time and taste does not change

    I was able to try two bottles of Raspberry Tart at a tasting. One was only 6 months old while the other was 3 years old, and wow the 3 year old was awesome.
