Out of Date Beer

[MocMocaMoc]

Might seem like a no brainer, but the 'internet' threw up (heh) some interesting points.

I've two bottles of real ale in the cupboard. Both a year (!) out of date.

What'll happen if I drink them?

You will probably end up looking like Tubgirl...

(don't google that, especially if you're at work, have just eaten, have a significant other, have children in the house, or are on certain watch lists)

If I were a younger man, I'd Google it. But age brings with it some remarkable advance in common sense - when someone says DONT GOOGLE THAT! I don't Google that ; )

Have a small taste. If they taste OK, drink on. If they taste like sperm and dog poo, pour them down the sink.

what does dog poo taste like?

Q. What's the worst that could happen?
A. Tubgirl

Does the same apply to wine and port? I have a bottle of 1970 port and a magnum of 1987 Rioja. Neither has a best before date, so will I die if I open them?

I see what you did there.

Before we even go on, how was this allowed to happen?

My rule of thumb still stands.

There is no witty jibe for which "your mum" is not an appropriate retort.

[Mr. Potato Head]

I've drunk bottled ale that's over a year out date with no problems.

I must still be young enough to be not have the common sense that this age brings.

As he said, just don't google it.

Sounds reasonable. If I die I will have 'I followed internet advice' on my coffin lid. If I survive I'll vomit in your general direction.

[Dogwatch]

It's in a sealed container so should be OK but try it and see.

Now, if it had been opened

Tastes like out of date beer.

My FiL has a habit of keeping anything comestible which doesn't grow legs and run away, and thus from more than one personal experience of being served OoD beer, I can reliably state that it tastes fkin awful. I always take my own supply now when visiting.

More than reasonable to ask.

Was sitting at the back of a cupboard full of booze - all ways fully stocked, just went unnoticed ; )

Heh, I still haven't Googled it and im feeling very happy with myself right now ; )

Course, a couple bottle of (in date) beer and half a bottle of Rioja help.

[eskidavies]
