So I've just found a 33 year old unopened bottle of Guinness

onrail

Found today in a cattle shed. So many questions:

• Is it likely to give me superpowers if I take a slug?
  
• Does it contain the ghost of Paddy Kavanagh?
  
• Will it kill every living thing within a 2 mile radius if opened?

Only time will tell....

I'm guessing a dose of the sh1ts might be likely.

Get on to Diageo’s twitter and see would they be interested in it.

To be fair, I'd say it's worth less than the price of a pint in Temple Bar.

Seriously fighting off the temptation to open it.

Give it a lash, it will either be the nicest Guinness you ever had or it will produce an ominous rumbling sound ten minutes after drinking.

Ah it's only a best before date.

Have at it horse!

Especially the bit where the medics ask him what he has drank or eaten recently and he answers..."only a 33 year old bottle of Guinness doc" :pac:

I'll sleep on it and make up my mind tomorrow.

If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, send help.

Make out a will and take out some medical and life insurance first.

poitinstill

given its age and unopened..its a half pint so wont kill you. might taste like crap as 4.?% isnt meant to be aged. but someone might like to purchase the bottle in its current condition ( wink) on ebay

you might make a few bob or you could drink it ( it will taste like guinness watered down or vinegar as the corrosion on the cap may be let in some nasties)

either way keep us posted. if we dont hear back we will presume the worst

imfml

Call the Ray D'Arcy show he loves stuff like this

Blud

I honestly don't see that you have a choice here OP.

antodeco

Or, keep it for another 67 years and it'll be back in date again

The writing on the label of the bottle on the right hand side has the months of the year on it. Below them they have two years, 87 and 88. This is the best before date. This means you should consume it before that.


If I was given the option of drinking a bottle of that or drink from one of the Guinness Key rings, I'd chose the latter. Unless of course you are partial to yeast worms. Are you ?

Any chance you’d be free to help the WHO with the new corona virus?

Just checked the fridge, would only be able to sort them with the weak version. And I doubt that those aging rockers would be interested in anything but the hard stuff.

What happened? What happened? Is the op still with us??!

What's a yeast worm..?

Don't open it or the resale value will plummet!
Your local might like it to display it on the shelf, they will probably give you a pint of stout for it.

What was the point in this?
It just sounds unnecessarily uncomfortable.

Consume within dashing distance of the toilet.

Something that could manifest itself in the bottle if it wasn't airtight.


Guinness Extra Stout was unfiltered and unpasteurized until the 90s I believe.
