there are 2 dates common on alcoholic beverages:
born on dates, which is the date they are bottled
and “freshness dates” which is the date they put on for distribution and sales reasons

its a way for manufacturers to move product off retail shelves, and make sure retailers get rid of the older stuff 1st.

You can drink beer that's past the expiration date, which is why some just do "born on" dates.....it doesn't really matter. Nothing really, it just gets old over time.
