I believe I heard somewhere (here?) that Hinano takes awhile to get here to the states and that's why the beer always seems to be expired. Fact or fiction? A beer will definitely taste better the sooner you drink the beer after it has been bottled. After the expiration date is past the beer starts to degrade slowly over months (depending on the temp there stored in). As far as i know Hinano is still bottle in Tahiti, so travel time would be a factor on the freshness of the beer. For more info on Hinano goto http://www.hinano.com/index.php TBird.
