The good, the bad and the ugly of commercial beer and breweries, including microbreweries and craft breweries.

Could be fine, depending on how its been stored I guess. Assume that is a 24 carton, and for $19 it's hard to go wrong.

Double check if it is a 'best before' or 'best after ' date on them.

You are right, they are best after stamped.

12 months past the best-after date would mean, at a guess, that they're 14 months old. But for $19, who's complaining, particularly if they have been stored well.
