How Long Beer Lasts In Cans Vs Bottles

Canned and bottled beer has its own pros and cons, but if you're stocking up on beer for the next few months, you might want to know which will allow your pint to last longer.

The shelf life of beers in cans and bottles are fairly similar. Both are best consumed within six months of their production date, but in general, they can last one to two years.

However, this timeline only holds true when the beers are stored in optimal conditions. Specifically, in a cool, dry place that's away from direct sunlight.
