    I drank beer older than that. Funky taste, but no harm donafohjfsap;hfefhbgbe;wg

    Safe to drink, may taste a bit funny. There's a slim chance, depending on the beer, that it tastes better.

    Drink them. We shall tell the rest of society the result. You may die but if you do we will tell your story

    Such as with Budweiser.

    Drink the beer op. Out of date beer is still safe to consume. It isn't an old slab of meat now, is it?

    Pfft, ive drank beer that was a lot longer out of date than that.

    It was so far out of date i needed a tin opener to open the can and eat the beer with a spoon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,042 ✭✭✭Groinshot


    Open them, if they're flat don't drink them. IF they're not, Then they're fine

    One of the brother's friends downed 4 cans of Guinness that expired in 2009 in the house there a couple of weeks ago...


    I'm sure I would have heard if he died

    Guinness is the only one if it is out of date I avoid, but then again, I dont drink lager. All lager tastes vile to me, in date or not.

    Tho I did have a few out of date cans of knacker champagne (bulmers) last night, wasnt all that bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    What type of beer is it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭smellslikeshoes


    Man the **** up and drink the dam beer :pac:

    This s the question that we need answered first....

    For example, if the answer is Budweiser or Miller... Then you shouldn't be drinking them even when they're in date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,952 ✭✭✭aujopimur


    Old beer= trots.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Fancy a pint?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭blockedPaT


    I've drank out of date beer, not that bad. Just drink them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    It will probably taste a bit odd. If you care anything about the taste of it dont bother.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,642 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    Bud, Carlsberg & Stella

    Apparently apparently Guinness is best when it's slightly out of date. Don't ask me how or why, but there have been many a conversations with alcamaholics and each and everyone has told me this.

    Still..I don't think I would try it.

    I think that's only the gassy bottled ones. I heard that before with them. But a keg of gunniess that has gone off is completely fùckin rancid.

    I've had out of date Guinness, tasted odd to me. Wouldn't recommend it.

    I'd give them to the homeless.
    But if you're hard up, just to go the offie, buy the same amount of the same cans and get a receipt. Go back later and show them the out of date cans, swap em for new ones.

    Old manky cans of Dutch FTW!:p

    I found a can of cider dated 2004 a couple of months ago, it didn't taste the same as a recent vintage, but safe enough.

    Its best before, not unsafe after.

    The plan is to end up on top of a young slab of meat.

    Op if you throw out beer you're going to have to start pissing sitting down and wearing a skirt. I think that's the law anyway....
