Nice to see the breweries sticking on new best before dates on your out
of date barrels.

To be fair here, could it be that they are testing the beer first to
check that it is okay then applying a new label (rather than just
changing the labels)?


I shall be able to get that info for you tomorrow - final day sorting
out the CCTV, outside lights, wifi to the beer garden so that the
waitress service app works etc for the big opening on Saturday.

Apparently they tested the batch not the pubs individual kegs.

I suppose there is some logic there, as the original 'best before'
date must have been estimated on the basis of the characteristics of
the batch.

I don't drink beer at present but I am pretty confident that any of my
beer enthusiast friends would be able to tell immediately if a pint
was 'off'.

Keg beer is not drunk by "beer enthusiasts"...

Maybe not, but I am confident if asked the question they would be able
to come up with an informed answer.
