Even though that says Expiration, beer doesn't really expire. It's more of a "best by" date for peak freshness.
If you're finding beer, are you really concerned about peak freshness? You drinking it?

One of my biggest regrets of the past was missing the $3 off a jar of pickles before 12/31 expiration. That hurt.

ONE example
In 2006, 1 lb. (16 oz.) of coffee cost $2.30.
Today 12 oz. (3/4 of a pound) of coffee cost $20.
net weight is 75% while cost per pound is over $26.
That is more than 11x the cost.
inflation is about as low as my ass.

Please allow a stranger to carry some grief. In so much as a lightened grief may make room for quietude. I am so sorry.

take a chicken embryo and whip it into a froth.
cook the chicken and chop it up.
mix the raw egg froth with the meat bits.
