On bud light and coors light there is a date sticker on the keg, is that the born on date or is that the exp. date?

Yes. The beer will be very fresh up till that date."because, without beer, things do not seem to go as well..."

If I'm not mistaken, AB is the only one that uses a "Born On" date. The rest are "use by". But don't quote me.

I varies from brewer to brewer. I picked up a 1/6 of O'Fallon 5 day IPA and a 1/6 of Arcadia Ales IPA. Both had a 'born on' date. The O'Fallon was only 5 days old! When I get my Boulevard Wheat, it has a use by date on it. I know AB has used the "born on date" on bottles and kegs for years now.Originally posted by THE ICEMAN View PostIf I'm not mistaken, AB is the only one that uses a "Born On" date.

The born on date from AB is the date plus 110 days, thats when it should be pulled of the shelf. Codes on a miller keg are like this 06108. This means the month, day, and last # of the year.Comment

Your saying that the beer is good 110 days from the date on the AB or that the date is 110 from the the day it was made?Originally posted by millermike View PostComment

110 or so days for cans and bottles but for kegs - closer to 55 days.Scott Zuhse, Instructor Micro Matic Dispense InstituteComment

For Yuengling Lager they told me 45 days. There is a code on top of the keg that starts with a two digit year and a three digit date based on the Julian calendar. So Jan 1 2008 would be 08 001. If anyone was interested."No soldier can fight unless he is properly fed on beef and beer."
