Some of my local liquor stores really suck ass. I've been sold old sour beer on numerous occasions. Yesterday I was on the hunt for something new and wanted to go with something by Brooklyn Brewery. So as I was in line about to pay for a 6pk of Brooklyn brewery lager, I noticed it said best by March 07 on one of the bottles. So off I went back to the beer shelves and saw BB's Brown Ale. I had 't tried that beer either so I picked up one of the bottles (this is when I got really pissed). The son of a ***** said September 05. OMG. Aren't their regulations on how long you can keep a product which expires on the shelves. Another thing thats really pissing me off is the six pack I ended up getting is, well you probably get the picture.
In hindsight, I think I've learned my lesson to not trust local hole in the wall liquor stores. Big liquor stores here I come.
Seriously though, are there any regulations on how long they can keep expired stuff around for? It makes me mad when there's a possibilty some unsuspecting BMC drinker actually purchases a craft beer, thinking to him or herself "man maybe this stuff'll really knock my socks off", then upon returning home finding out they'd be much happier to not explore the beer world cause the stuff is always old and nasty.
