Old Cans of Beer

McCall St. Brewer · Mar 18, 2008

I was looking in my fridge at work this morning and I noticed that there are two cans of Leinie's (I think) in there that have been there for, well, let's say awhile. The supermarket where I bought them has been closed for at least two years I think. So, those cans have been happily sitting in the fridge almost since Bush's first adminstration. Are they still good, or are they garbage?

Most likely old. Just open one and taste it?

Better yet, get a fresh can of Leinie's and do a side by side comparison. Report your findings back to us.

You have beer in your work fridge?

Where do I apply?

We have 2 cases of guinness left over from our St. Patrick's day party on friday. I brought in a few from my first batch and my boss and I sat down and had a beer. :mug:

Any chance to drink, and we do it!

I've had a couple micros that were refrigerated for over a year, some good, some bad.

The fact that they're in cans should help.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure "having a beer in the can at work" is a sign that you might need help.

I drank canned beer that was expired for more than 3 years ... poured it into a glass. It looked perfectly fine and tasted quite good.

I wouldn't be too concerned ....

I would say keep them there for another 8 or 10 months, and make an event out of it....
