Does anyone know the shelf life of Bud Light?

Anheuser-Busch has come upon a fun marketing scheme: They installed "Victory Fridges" full of Bud Light in bars across Cleveland. The fridges will remain locked until the Browns win their first game, and then the contents are free to all comers.

Just for reference, the last time the Browns won a football game was December 24, 2016.

There are so many real beers out there.

Life is too short for Lowest Common Denominator Beer.

That's why their doing it. Otherwise it is measured in weeks. Knew a beer truck delivery guy years ago. Found out that places that move beer quickly get the "oldest" beer. They pull it (and replace it) from the shelves of small places with slow business and move it to the places that move alot of beer. They don't want beer sitting warm on a shelf for weeks on end. I think it was Budweiser that started doing the "born on" schtick as a sale gimmick. They were usually less than about 2 weeks "old".

Bud Lite is such a shitty beer, it's already essentially undrinkable...

My brother-in-law loves red beer - which has tomato juice in it. He bought a can of Chelada and got about one sip into it.

If someone's so concerned about getting fat then just chug a few less. Good beer is to be savored. There are cheaper and quicker ways than beer light to get drunk.

Jabrill Peppers, David Njoku, and Myles Garrett are more experienced plus they added a veteran starting QB as well as a 1st overall pick as backup. Plus they traded for Jarvis Landry. Josh Gordon may be back this season and they may add Dez Bryant. Gregg Williams joined as D Coordinator and added Denzel Ward who played under the same system as Marshon Lattimore including playing opposite of him as well as the same number of snaps.

Perhaps once a month they will empty the 'victory fridge' into the bar's regular inventory and restock it with new beer.
