FT: Budweiser: Cellared 30+ Years

[Fedora]

All good ABVIBUSRM.

I would legitimately offer you two 12oz or one 22/750 of beer of your choice that I can grab locally in Central VA (within reason, no crazy $80 bomber, haha.) If you're curious as to why...

If you're interested, I can send you this can of Bud and you can do a side by side, can vs bottle. Best guess is the can is 30 years old. Maybe someone can decipher the code on the bottom, or figure it out from when AB opened the brewery in Colorado, as it is not listed on the can.

I have only been the proud owner for a few months, but @patrickgoss can provide at least a best guess on the time this can came into existence.

I'll trade you 2 days naval lint and 1 months worth of armpit hair along with a complimentary moist towelette. PM me if you're down.

I think this needs to happen. Budweiser is packed and ships tomorrow.

I'm game. 79 on the bottom maybe a year?

That was my thought. PM me your address and i can ship it out later this week.

I just googled when the Ft. Collins, CO brewery started producing for AB, and it is 26 years old. Since it is not mentioned on the can, I think its safe to assume the can is at least that old.

Was 1979 a good year for Budweiser????? Never mind..... that was a Dumb A$$ question!

Um, whadgyasay?

 

[ruger988]

Holy ****.....

Drank the 69 bottle and 79 can tonight. More details to come, but for now I can say every drop of te can was consumed, not so much the bottle. It was pretty god awful.

 

[grathan]

ANy video?

 

[DWBoca]

Wow, do tell

 

[Psylocide]

I really hope there are pictures of those pours.

Or did you guys go straight up and consume from the vessels they were stored in, as originally intended?

 

[DarthCitra]

pics or nothin!

 

[ruger988]

Sorry guys... busy week. Posting from phone now, but will post pictures later. I believe someone got a video of the can being cracked open.

Can was actually good (in a relative sense), probably the best BMC beverage I've ever had and it was completely consumed. Pretty smooth, not a whole lot of flavor, but the Bud funk was gone as well so no complaints.

The bottle on the other hand was horrendous. Had lost all carbonation (could've guessed that since about 1/4 of the beer had evaporated over the years.) Smelled and tasted exactly like paint thinner, No one could get more than a baby sip down and it was mostly drainpour.

 

[ruger988]

Forgot I could upload attachments from phone... The Bud in the glass was the 79 (can) other picture was the rest of the tasting, in the order they were opened (l to r).

 

[NickTheGreat]

Wow, this is so interesting.

 

[ruger988]

Wow, this is so interesting.

Haha.... sarcasm? :rockin:

 

[Fedora]

Glad you enjoyed it @ruger988... Hehehe. So safe to say it was the worst beer there?

 

[ruger988]

Worst beer by far! No one else really played the game this month, haha. Think they're all hoping I'll consider this an overall victory and stop playing as well.


Nope.

 

[thatjonguy]

So LC #4 to forget the horror of the bottle?

Pretty sure everyone had some water and ate something between the Bottle and the LC4, I know I did.

 

[NickTheGreat]

Haha.... sarcasm? :rockin:

Sorry . . . no. Sincerely.

@ruger988 has got years up on me now! congrats on the iron guts, bruva!

I'm honored, I think, haha.

Anyone else has anythin they're afraid to drink... you know who to send it to :rockin:

I suddenly have a great desire to brew horrid combinations in small batches.

Glad you liked the can of Bud. My grandfather quit drinking in 1980 and that thing sat in a kitchen cupboard for a long long time.

This thread is like a train wreck. I couldn’t stop reading it. Interesting about the difference in the can and bottle.

 

[Fedora]

Hey look, it's this thread. Twas a fun ride.
