Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted June 30, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2006 no lol. do you think all beer is shipped right from the brewery and into your fridge? it lasts years inside that bottle.. i think you could drink a 10 year old bottle of beer, and still enjoy it. beer sits inside the plant for a few weeks before being shipped, then sits inside the storage room at the beer store for a few days/weeks. have you ever heard of anyone drinking a "bad beer" because it was "too old?"

There is no such thing as bad beer. Besides the point I still have a keg full of beer that was untouched for 6 months and just recently tapped it and it still tasted pretty good. Just make sure it's ice cold though before you drink it to ward off any possbile nasty aftertastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If beer is in the fridge for more than 48 hours at my house, there is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it's authentic Guiness it should last until the end of the world, as for Heineken well I've heard rumors that it's already over 10 months old by he time it gets to the store shelves of North America.

grimman Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I, for some reason, find beer to taste better when it's at room temperature... odd, I know, but meh. I'll live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psybapunk Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 he doesn't like Guiness or Heineken? man, what does he prefer? I'm almost afraid to know. I prefer some locally brewed stuff, really good. If had to go with a mainstream beer it would have to be Newcastle, thats some good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edbro Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Beer does expire. It also tastes better the fresher it is. Thats why some beers have a "born on" date. I bought some Fat Tire today that has an expiration date on them (Nov). In Germany, most of the beer does not contain preservatives and they definitely go bad. It is also important to keep beer cold. When possible, buy it cold and store it in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKuro Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 It seems some beer does start age badly, but we are talking 5-10years later. I once found some Budweiser (not sure where it came from), in my grandparents basement, apparently it was around 9yrs old . . . personally it was crap .. not sure if it went bad, or if all american beer is that bad. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galley Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I found some canned beer in a basement that had been there for five years. It didn't taste that bad. Of course, everything tastes better when it's free. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
