It's hard to put an exact time on how long it is good for. Their are alot of factors. Light, temperature and the strength of the beer all affect how long it will last. If refrigerated, the storage time is substantially improved. Light also affect the shelf life. Normally the darker (greener bottles help as well) the bottle, the less light that will actually penetrate it. Lastly the stronger the beer, generally translates into a longer shelf life. Anyway you cut it, beer does not improve with age once processed. So there is not much advantage in trying to store it.

Since you said canned, I take it you're not talking about homebrewed beer. Canned beer has a longer shelf life than bottled beer, especially beer bottled in green or colorless bottles, which allow more light that can spoil the beer to pass through. (Almost every skunky beer I've ever tasted has come in a green bottle.) Canned beer can last for many months -- even years -- on the shelf with little noticeable deterioration. (Of course, some beer is so bad, it's hard to tell whether it has deteriorated or was meant to taste that way to begin with!) Since there is no live yeast in large-distribution macrobrews, those beers cannot improve with age, unlike live-yeast homebrews. My homebrews have lasted for over six months in the fridge -- and tasted awesome. Perhaps other homebrewers would like to weigh in here and tell us how long their brews last. It also depends on the style. The heavier bottled conditioned beers (with live yeast) such as barley wine belgian trippel and imperial stout often takes 6 months or more just to be ready to drink, and can age nicely over a year or 2

Assuming it is kept cool and dark, canned and bottled beer is good for about four months before it begins to taste "stale" - at six months, it is obvious it is "around the bend".

Is green tea better then canned tea?

Green tea and canned (or bottled) tea are two separate categories that can overlap. For example, you can have green tea in a can, or freshly brewed green tea. Similarly you can have other kinds of tea (like black tea) from a can, and you can make them freshly brewed as well.So there are two questions here:Is canned tea or bottled tea better or worse than freshly brewed tea?Canned or bottled tea is much worse. Because it has been brewed long in advance, it loses both flavor and health benefits (the antioxidants and the flavor chemicals both break down over time). It is also much more expensive per cup than brewing your own tea. It is also less sustainable (uses more resources in its production).Is green tea better than black tea or other types of tea?This is largely a matter of personal taste. Green tea is healthy, but so are other types of tea, and there is no evidence that green tea is universally healthier than black tea or other teas. Drink whichever kind of tea tastes best to you!
