I have some stubby bottles (advice needed)

[TriggerFingers]

Hey all,

So my dad was clearing out a storage shed, and he gave me an unopened 6 pack of PBR in stubby bottles. He said he was going to throw them out, but knew I was home brewing and thought I might be able to use the bottles. (Oh, and they are cappable and have paper labels).



I have no problem using them for homebrew. However, I started thinking that even though the beer inside is long past drinkable, it is still in the original closed-top paper carrier and might be collectable. I have not been able to find any info on how old these bottles might be.

Would you just use them for homebrew or would you try to sell it as a vintage item?

Curious....

I would chill and try to drink one first, then send it off to home brew land.

Sure its free beer, but im guessing its somewhere between 50-70 years old-- thats a little too much conditioning for me.

They probably just need another three weeks.

Put em up on Ebay (if that is legal) with a minimum to cover shipping and see what happens.

Also, drink (or dump) and use em IMO.

it isn't too difficult to muster up 6 capable bottles. Now coming across 6 that are 50+ years, unopened, and label in place.... not quite as easy. Keep em, sell em, use them to decorate your bar when you build it-- but please leave them in their current condition.
