Trigger Mike 996 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I only drink beer if my kidneys are bothering me, so a 6 pack last a while. I have 2 dos equis dated best by 2018 in glass bottles. I doubt the taste will be any good, but I dont drink for taste, just health. Is it any good? Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be much more beneficial for your health AND palate~! That said - I have a can o' Burgermeister left over from 1971.... Link to post Share on other sites
John Kloehr 875 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Beer. Best within 6 weeks. But as long as the bottles are not leaking, turning weird colors, cloudy, or have fuzz in them, they are still safe. For cans, bulging is not good, otherwise pour into a glass and apply same inspection as for bottles. But the taste of good beer fades fast; the taste of bad beer is not affected as quickly.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L 629 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Beer, unlike wine, or whiskey, gets worse with age. The fresher the beer, the better. Like milk, beer is better as soon as you can get it, from the "distribution point". Sometimes I wake up grouchy... Other days.... I let her sleep! Link to post Share on other sites
Dantankerous 4,249 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Don't know about beer expiring but in my medicine cabinet when I last moved I found some foot powder that expired in 1983. Guess if I ever develop athletes foot I'll find out if it still good. Beer does seem to be best enjoyed before 6 to 8 weeks after purchase. Light lager probably lasts longer. Ales are best enjoyed shortly after purchase. YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites

Chili Ron 883 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Howdy, I moved to Colorado and was invited to watch football. The fella served Coors and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. YUUUCK. It Was awful. I avoided Coors after that. Another sunday I was watching the Bears and having beer on tap and tons of fresh popcorn. The beer was just remarkable so I asked the beertender what it was....Coors of course and a look like I was really dumb. When I left Colorado three cases of the freshest Coors was in the car. When it goes bad boy does it go bad. Best CR Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Shapiro 1,067 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I disagree. It depends on the beer. I have a few bottles left of a bourbon barrel aged stout I bought almost 2 years ago. I opened one of those a few weeks ago. Holy cow has that gotten good! It aged very well. Dos X's? Doubtful. But a really nice dark beer will age well. Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 410 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Doc knows. Some of the breweries have aged beers, usually the stouts and barleywine styles for sale. At Sierra Nevada Brewery they at times will have special aged beers they open. I've bought them up at Deshutes in Bend, Or. also. Link to post Share on other sites
C.N. Double 59 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I've never met a beer that wasn't sudsy and delicious, but it doesn't last long around me. I do usually seek out the freshest beer at the grocery store, especially if it's on sale. I think your Dos X will be ok, but make sure it's really cold. Lime will help. Does beer help one's kidneys? Is it just to make you pee, or is there something more to it? Link to post Share on other sites

Jabez Cowboy That was true years ago. And the major popular big companies are still not very good in my opinion. But a lot of smaller makers are brewing some fine beers. Breckenridge here in Colorado makes a very nice pale ale. And I’ve had some really good IPAs recently. PS: Never give a can of American beer to a large Bavarian ex-lumberjack who owns a bar.

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 535 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 In the early 50’s “green” Coors was not uncommon. It didn’t have good shelf life at all but it was 5x superior to the stuff they put out now. Link to post Share on other sites
watab kid 980 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 ive never had beer get 6-8 weeks old , its always gone long before that , but good to know that shelf life is longer than i let it age , i do know [from the beer strike back in the 70s] that you can get beer thats not yet ready to drink , and from experience i dont recommend it , Link to post Share on other sites

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 20,963 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Years ago I had a Pyramid Ales rep talk me into buying and trying their Apricot Ale. Now I am not one for fruit salad beer but I would try anything once. I got it home. It was sufficiently cold enough. I popped a top and took a big pull in that bottle... The acrid ale went down my pipe and then decided the party was on my garage floor and it convinced everything else in my stomach to follow it to the party. It was sickeningly atrocious...but of course all beer is WHEN IT’S OVER A YEAR OUT OF DATE!!! After cleaning up the mess I threw the empty back into the 6 pack and headed back to the liquor store where that freakin’ sales rep was hanging out with his two Pyramid Hotties and chewed his arse for a good five minutes. Freakin’ maroon! I wouldn’t accept a case of his beer gratis. I wanted no parts of anything he had to give. I can’t even look at an apricot without wanting to heave after that. Man, that was disgusting. Link to post Share on other sites

Nasty Newt # 7365 357 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 That's why we have IPA, India Pale Ale. In the empire days, the Brits would ship beer to India and it would spoil enroute. They figured out that if you add more hops, it lasts longer. So the hoppier the beer, the longer it will last.

Jabez Cowboy Utah Bob is right. The large breweries had created pissy stuff for massive consumption. Meanwhile, smaller breweries have created regional markets with good-tasting brews with a variety of styles. Some of these large legacy breweries have bought some of these microbreweries or have started making more varieties. Link to post Share on other sites
