How old is my beer can? ›

For cans, the pull date is located on the bottom of the can. Location of the pull date code on secondary packaging is determined by package artwork and is generally printed in the upper left-hand corner of the packaging. It can be on the long or short side of the package.

Craft beer has a richer and more distinct taste than watery mass produced beer. Most craft brewers are passionate about the taste and flavour of their beer. So they invest the time and energy required to maintain or improve the quality of the beer instead of concentrating on huge marketing campaigns.

Appearance addresses color, clarity and foam stand. Flavor is similar to aroma, but also includes bitterness, balance, sweetness and finish/aftertaste. Mouthfeel involves body, carbonation, alcohol heat and other palate sensations. Guidelines present a range of intensities and descriptors for each.

Most flat tops in grade 1 to 1+ condition will be valued at between $30 and $250, depending on their rarity. However, there are many exceptions to this rule of thumb for very rare cans.

The truth is, beer doesn't go bad in the way that food does. But it can lose its robust flavors over time. Although it generally won't be dangerous to drink it, a beer past its prime may disappoint your palate.

Heart Health

Well, beer contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that protect your heart's cells from damage. Additionally, beer has a role in increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol levels, which helps to remove harmful LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Summary. Overall U.S. beer production and imports were down 5% in 2023, while craft brewer volume sales declined by 1%, raising small and independent brewers' share of the U.S. beer market by volume to 13.3%.

Unlike conventional beer, craft beers provide better health benefits due to their varied and high content of phenolic compounds (PCs) and also due to their alcohol content, but the latter is controversial.

This is particularly evident in drinks with an alcohol content of 5% to 11%, such as beer, which is best served at 41°F. At this temperature, beer displays an increase in chain-like structures that enhance its taste, making it preferable to drink cold.

What is a tasting of beer called? ›

A beer flight or beer stick is a method of serving a variety of beers, in relatively small quantities, for tasting.

A “beer snob” cares about the beer YOU drink. I drink what I like and let people drink what they like. Another distinction is that a beer geek takes an interest in the whole world of beer and its culture.

The average markup on beer is about 200% to 300% when considering beer prices for bars. It's similar to restaurant wine markup (see: wine pricing) but there are more profits in the wine industry.

It's often 3 numbers followed by one more digit. The first three digits represent the day of the year, with the last digit being the last number of the year. For example, 165 3 would be the 165th day of 2023 (June 13th).

Most beers have a straightforward date stamp on the bottom of the can or the neck, shoulder or back label of the bottle.

According to Maxwell's guide, the surest way to roughly date these early tin-lined steel cans is to look at the label. (If you see “Internal Revenue Tax Paid,” for example, you know it's from between 1935 and 1950.) But if the can is too worn to identify, Maxwell explains, the next best point of reference is the shape.

This can only be determined if you're willing to remove the label from the tin. Numbers on labels such as “553” may indicatethe year made. “553” is May, 1953. These numbers may also identify a label stocknumber but most likely would be identified as No.
