Fuller’s best by dates?

[The Red Viper]

Does anyone know how far off the best by dates are from brewing date for Fuller’s beers, specifically London Pride? I have googled and not been able to find a clear answer.

I believe it's a year.

That’s what I was afraid of. I have not enjoyed the bottles I’ve had close to their bb date and the freshest I’ve seen locally were 6 months old if this is right.

I used to struggle to find it under 3 months in supermarkets in London with high stock turnover.

I honestly always seek London Pride out on tap/cask in the states. The bottles just don't taste good at all.
