Tidied the garage today and found one of these at the back of a shelf. Only problem is it has a best before date of Feb 2016. Is it safe to drink?

The worst I've found with out of date tinned beer is that it can get an unpleasant metallic taste, usually it's fine though.

it should be fine. short dated and out of date beer paid for my house. only one way to find out. pour it into a glass and leave for a while. see if there is any sediment at the bottom of the glass.

It will be fine. Maybe slightly more fizzy.

Get it drunk. I found a bottle of cider 2 years out of date the other week (at the back of the cupboard) it was a little flat but fine.

Smiler.

Your arse emulates the ejection of a rotting horse carcase through the open bomb bay of a B17.

Other than that, no bother at all.

generally , if a beer has been kept cool and out of the light it should be ok. so a garage would be ideal.
just drink it , and when you recover , post back on here smile

Using a ½ pint glass, first couple of glasses were very flat, even though the keg had lots of pressure. Third glass tastes much better now pressure is lower lick
