[Maydup]

Six year old bottle of dark beer. Drinkable or down the sink?

Taste it and decide.Probably OK.

Throw it or risk food poisoning?

Your choice.

[Hopkirk]

Food poisoning? I don't think so.
It may not taste so good, but if it's still sealed there should be no danger

[Maydup]

Well it was sealed, but it was over 6 years old so I have chucked it. It smelt good and beery when I opened it but looked really dark. Best not to risk it. I'll treat myself to a fresh bottle to replace it!

The crucial question was ‘what beer’, I have some Imperial Stout from 1973 which ‘should’ still be drinkable.

[Jahulaye]

Is there any point of making yourself sick over£1.65? Lol

[Maydup]

Exactly Jah, it was nice beer but readily available locally.

Only last week I tipped a large bottle of Becks down the sink - found it in the back of a cupboard with best before some date in 2013. Mind you it smelt OK!

[Hopkirk]

I'm crying here

[ethandron]

At least try it before tipping it down the sink.

Next time, offer it to other ABers...;-)

SACRILEGE !!!!!

[Maydup]

LOL! Sorry if I've wasted good (6 year old) beer, but I have opened a bottle of red wine instead.
