The “Packaged On” date printed on the side of our cans shows when the beer was canned at Snake Lake Brewing. This is not an expiry date. Beer doesn’t technically expire, but for the best flavour and quality, we recommend enjoying our beers fresh — ideally within a few months of the packaged date, depending on the style.

What does the “Packaged On” date on your cans mean?
How should I store my beer?
Beer stays freshest when it’s kept cold, upright, and away from direct sunlight. We recommend storing Snake Lake beers in the fridge to preserve their flavour and quality.
Do your beers contain allergens?
Most of our beers contain gluten (from barley, wheat, or other grains). Some specialty beers may include additional ingredients like lactose, fruit, or spices. If you have specific allergies, please check the label or ask our team before purchasing.
Are your beers vegan-friendly?
The majority of our beers are vegan-friendly. Some limited releases may include lactose (milk sugar) for sweetness and body. When this is the case, it will be clearly noted on the can.
