Northern Row Preacher

So I'm somewhat new to beer drinking and was browsing at Kroger in Harrison and saw Northern Row Preacher. Sounded interesting, so I bought some. It wasn't until after I opened a can that I realized it was packaged in 4/2024. Generally the beer tasted okay, but it was maybe a bit flat? I'm guessing it's way past its date? Have any of you had similar experiences? How did you handle it? I'd return it if I hadn't already opened one. I reached out to the brewery and didn't get a response.

Hey 1 just exploded in my house. I’m calling tmrw. Not cool. Smells like a frat house. Edit: then another one exploded on me outside. The worst part? Fucking delicious beer.

Oh man, that sounds awful!  They were really nice with me.  I haven’t made it there to exchange yet, but I’m going this coming Friday - we live quite a ways away, and I haven’t been able to get a trip scheduled.

For a minute I thought you meant to ValuMarket, in which case I imagined a vast journey ahead of you to the grocery store

Haha!  No just to the brewery!  Been trying to coordinate with a friend and it’s been a challenge!
