I'm only 23, so I don't have a huge dearth of experience, but I've drank a decent number of beers and one thing I've really come to notice is that a lot of breweries seem to have some pretty major quality control issues. Maybe it's not on their end, perhaps it's the distributor or retailer, but I've noticed that many pale ales or IPAs really taste like garbage sometimes. Repeat offenders are sierra nevada, hazed and infused, and loose cannon. Sometimes they taste great. Other times, though, they taste like cardboard. I tend to stick to buying maltier beers now because the taste is way more consistent.
What's the deal? I know freshness is an issue but I've checked the dates sometimes, and they should be fine. Other times, they have been past due though. There's nothing worse than buying a six pack of bad beer. Once my pipeline is reestablished I can forget about the issue for the time being, but it's inevitable that I will have to turn to a supermarket for beer eventually.
