A general rule of thumb is that beers from large breweries will have a shelf life of approximately 8 to 12 months if refrigerated properly and kept from direct light, or 4 to 6 months at room temperature.
It can sit out at room temperature for about 10 hours without going bad. If you refrigerate it, it can last for up to 8 days, and if it's in the freezer, it can last for 3-6 months, depending on how often your freezer is left open. If the milk has already thawed, it can last for a full 24 hours in the fridge.
