Yes,  a couple of batches every summer.  I don't drink beer, but everyone who's had it loves it.   ]

I do. even the basic one with the 5 gallon bucket will make beer better then any shelf beer.

There are some really A+ craft brews on the shelf out there and some really awesome imports so I wouldn't say better than any shelf beer.  But no doubt, even with a simple setup, you can have beer as good as and often better than most of the crap available.

Does that have anything to do with the "born on" date?

If I'm in a remote location and I have to choose a 'crap' beer in an emergency. I go for Labatt blue light tallboys. Great value.

I've made a few batches.  I guess it's a family tradition since my dad used to make batches of other alcoholic beverages...... ;D

The "born on date" is just advertising propaganda for the most part.  Many beers will actually better with age.  A beer is not going to go bad after age.  You will never get sick from a bad beer, unless it's lost the seal and evaporated the alcohol.  The only thing that can happen is that it will taste worse with age or better with age.  Most of the time it's the higher ABV beers that will end up tasting better with age but that's not absolute.  Some high ABV beers will taste worse with age while some beers with lower ABV end up better with age.  About a year ago I drank a budwiser that had been aged 5 years just to see what it would taste like.  The beer was stored in a cool dark place for the entire time.  I was shocked, the 5 years had taken the cow piss smell normal for those shitty beers from the beer and the taste was improved with the age.  I expected to take a sip and dump it, I actually finished it and for what the beer started out to be, it wasn't half bad..

The only thing that's going to really fuck your beer with age is light.  It will skunk your beer.  Keep it in a dark cool place and it will be fine.

Coors should rename its beer, "Migraine in a Can"  It's an abomination that company is still in business.  Would love to gather enough investors to buy them out and flush that toilet then start up a real beer at the base of the Rockies.

If you know anybody with multiple million to invest, I'm your man ;D...  I would love to flush those losers and replace them with a great beer.  It's disgusting coors calls what they make beer and even more disgusting to me that they soil Colorado's name with their pisswater.

In Iceland that had some awful brew called Viking.....terrible stuff.  For a couple of weeks on time the base ran out of any other type of beer and the weather didn't allow any supply planes to arrive.   It was a trying time.....  I drank mostly Jack.....  ;D

I drink IPA's sometimes but the heavy hops flavor isn't my favorite.
