Default Found Pepsi in Keg

Hello all,

I recently acquired a keg, sealed tight with a Pepsi seal and it it still full of Pepsi. Here is the problem, the date on the Pepsi seal states 1987.

Now I know thats old but the seal is tightly on there. So I dont think any air got inside.

Do you think there is a chance that it might still be good?

Wonder if it was made without corn syrup.

i dont know. seems like it would taste nasty if it had something wrong with it. me and some friends were cleaning out a warehouse one day and found like 4 palates of old soda. cream soda, root beer, something else maybe cola. didnt have dates just in old dusty glass bottles. we drank the **** out of it for like a month and no one got sick. just sayin. if you dont want it ill drink it

The flavor might be off, but it's not going to kill you.
If it was sealed, nothing got in to spoil it. If it wasn't sealed, then it probably would have leaked out by now.

Is it still under pressure? If so, drink up! Just get some really long line to serve it from.

I would expect it not to taste like a 'fresh' pepsi but, if it were spoiled, you'd know pretty quick..

I found some diet pepsi cans that were a few years old. When I poured one it had lost most of it's color, and didn't have much more flavor than carbonated water. I didn't look at the bottom of the can to see if anything settled.

Half of my kegs had old soda in them. I guess Pepsi must have filled them and when they didn't hold pressure they junked them, didn't bother the trouble with empting them. And most of them were sealed. I would bet that they are full but have not had pressure on it since the day it was filled.

I didn't try any of mine, so I can't say if it was still good.
