Spring Beers Are Still Haunting Store Shelves

We always say it on the Perfect Pour, “Check your dates.”

A recent visit to the grocery store revealed a five-month-old six-pack of Firestone Walker “Hopnosis” IPA. Not even close to the worst beer date I have seen in the grocery store. But still.

Five months is too long for me anymore, if it is a hoppy beer. Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale is the only one I would buy at that date or later.

So really this is just a warning. I think there are a lot of early Spring released beers still on the shelf. So make sure to check. your. dates. ✌️🍻
