Should be fine I'd say, Mightn't taste the best, I had about 4 cans of 2 year old heino a while back, didn't taste the best but no ill effects

Yeah it's safe but it will definitely taste even more crap than regular Heino.

Import Heino is actually quite nice, the Cork version isn't that great though imo

the Heineken they make in Ladyswell in Cork is weaker at 4.3% vol. for tax purposes. If they brewed it at the standard 5% they would be paying more to Revenue.

They also make Irish-strength a Heineken at the plants in the Netherlands for canning and and bottling.

Well we have several boxes of Spaten here with a BBD of 07/09. I am willing to brave it

I wouldn't risk it, pm me your address and I will collect and dispose of it for you. My good deed for the day.

Spaten Helles does tend to get horribly musty very easily if it's not fresh, I find
