2 year old beer safe to drink?

[billtzk]

Not all old beer is good. I had a keg that sat in a closet for 2 years. When I finally hooked it up and carbed it, it tasted like wet cardboard. Of course, it may have tasted like that when fresh. I have no way of knowing. But I do think it had oxidized.

C'mon now... don't tell me you aren't gonna have a sneak-taste at some point before that!

I would probably taste one on each anniversary, because I would be WAY too curious.

Congrats on having patience..

...check out the last couple pages - pg 25~26. This was a pretty involved process.
