I don't know about that. It often has expiration dates on it. And it's
always really cheap stuff that he gets at the Navy Base. According to this,
it does not last for three years. And I do know that it goes bad. I was
served a bad beer years ago. My friend's husband gave me a Budweiser (cheap
beer) and as I was taking a swig, he said that it might be bad. He said it
had been in and out of a cooler so many times that he'd lost track of it. I
don't much like beer to begin with but I know what it should taste like and
this was not good.

I can also assure you that all of the beer we have thrown out had gone flat.
Very flat.
