I managed to come across a bottle of Young's Ale from 1977. It doesn't say on the bottle whether or not it's bottle conditioned. It looks fine. The only thing that i'd be wary of, other than its age, is that there is a small bit of rust on the top of the bottle cap, but I don't think any of the beer is in contact with it.
I am considering giving it a taste. Is there any danger in drinking beer this old? If it tastes horrible I'd just spit it out, but I'm worried it'd taste fine, but make me horribly sick. Anyone ever tried a beer this old?
