I have shopped at Mellingers many times, I have found that on the rare
occasion that I come across a skunky case, they will return or swap
the case of beer. A good practice to follow is, ask the employee what
the date on the beer is. All beers are labeled with a Best By Date.
However if it is a micro brew, they have a much longer shelf life than
domestic beers.
The advantage of shopping at Mellingers is that you can pre-order
your favorite beer. Additionally if you are having a function that
requires multiple cases you can ask to have the beer delivered.
