How long can cans of root beer be kept before they drinkable?

Cans of root beer, like most carbonated beverages, have a shelf life of around 6-12 months.

Here's what you need to know:

* Best before date: Look for a "best before" or "expiry" date on the can. This is the manufacturer's recommendation for optimal taste and quality.

* Storage: Store cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

* Changes over time: While root beer won't spoil quickly, it may become flat, lose its fizz, and the flavor might fade over time.

Important Note: Root beer is generally safe to drink even past the best-before date, but it may not taste as good.

If you're unsure, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard the can.
