Best before dates on kegs ales

How long do ales in a corni keg last before going off? Bearing in mind that they are not refrigerated, just stored in my shed.

Depends on the beer strength, the temperature it's stored at and how good your sanitation is.

Before I got a kegerator I used to keep beers for three-four months and they were usually fine. I'd use your taste buds and discretion as to when they're out of date.
