How long until it's skunked?

Let's say I buy some beer in, oh, let's say February, put it in the fridge and now want to drink it. Is it still good? How long does beer last in the fridge?

What kind is it? Chances are it wasn't good when you bought it.

beer from Feb should still be fine.

the born on dating is mostly marketing crap - beer does skunk for sure - but if it's been in the fridge the whole time, you should still be good.

No, it was good, but I don't drink much, especially lately. Pilsner Urquell is what it is, btw.

If it's been in the fridge continuously it's probably fine. If it was taken out, warmed and rechilled then it'll be skunky.

It wasn't taken out at all and tastes alright, so I guess it's fine. It's getting me drunk; I guess that's all that counts. I am pondering whether that was proper usage of a semi-colon, which means I still need a few more. I'll be back.
