I just discovered a case of beer hiding in my garage from over a year ago. Is it safe to drink? I'm craving some cold brew but too lazy to go to the liquor store...

So have any of you drank expired beer? I know the taste won't be the same, but as long as it wont make me sick, I'm all good.

The process of beer is aging... I don't see a problem with it
That's what I thought. Same for wine, etc. The older the more expensive. Yet I have seen expiration dates on beer for some reason. Hmm...

thats just for "freshness" which really applies mainly to the carbonation....the beer might be a lil flat but it wont kill you....

I think you're right. It's probably for carbonation. So it will taste flat... but still do the job lol.

drink that shit mane

kinda funny story
i been to the budweiser brewery in st louis about three times
they take you on a little tour and shit
then at the end you get to try some free beer
but one time about five years ago in the area you can drink samples
they asked if anyone wanted to be "honarary brew masters" and try some "special beer"
so i raised my hand and got chose, along with a couple ladies
anyways make a long story short they gave me this beer to drink, and after drinking it i thought it was some kind of new more potent beer bud wes puttin out, i come to find out it was some beer stored to simulate some beer that was like 4 years old.
i liked that shit but the ladies didnt really feel it.
so with that i recommend drinking it.

Actually, that's not true. The common misconception is that the older the wine, the better, and the more people will pay for it. True, there are vintage wines that have a hefty price tag, but some ''old'' wines are just that; OLD. Your whites, ie. chardonnay's, tend to 'turn', or go bad, after a small number of years (3-6). Then you're stuck with a bottle of vinegar.

Also, even, for example, a vintage red, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, can go bad prematurely if the cork is bad, or the bottle is not stored correctly.

So, in other words, if someone's holding on to an old bottle of wine because they're gonna cash in when it's 20 years old...most likely you can use it to cook with tonight. Bon Apetit.

How can you have a bad batch of Yukon Jack? It doesn't go old...unless someone pissed in your drink, it should taste the same even if it's 30 years old. (I'm assuming it was an unopened bottle.)
