Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Beer Bread expire?
Unopened beer bread generally lasts up to a week past the sell-by date. Once opened, it's best to consume it within 2-3 days. If you've baked homemade beer bread, try to consume it within 2-3 days as well. If you choose to freeze it, beer bread can last from 2 to 3 months. Don't forget to label and date everything before freezing it!
How do you tell if Beer Bread is bad?
There are a few tell-tale signs that your beer bread has gone bad. If the bread has become slimy or excessively mouldy, it's time to dispose of it. A stale, hard texture or an off-smell also indicates that the bread has past its prime.
Tips for storing Beer Bread to extend shelf life
• Always store your beer bread in a cool dry area. • For longer shelf life, wrap the bread in plastic or foil to keep it from drying out, but eat it as quickly as possible to enjoy its best taste.• If concerned about it losing its fresh taste once opened, slice it and freeze these slices. Later, you can toast individual slices straight from the freezer.• Remember, if you've frozen your beer bread, thaw it at room temperature. Please avoid microwaving it, as this could make the bread tough.
