So, i have been reading these boards multiple times daily for the past few months and it seems the consensus is that the longer a brew ages, the better it is. Anyway, i was at the grocery store today and i picked up a six pack of Harpoon Octoberfest. I got home and was looking on the bottle to see where the beer was brewed and it says best by 12/13/07. Dont get me wrong, this is one of the better beers i have ever had, but if beer improves with age, why do they put the 'best by date' on the bottle?
