| 648297 | 2008-03-10 05:03:00 | While cleaning out my garage yesterday, I came across a dozen cans of assorted beers that had been lost to the world (and my fridge) for over 10 years. That's taking the age from the date stamp, which is mid 1997. One can of DB had some nasty brown stains on top that looked like a leak so I popped the top and no, it was still sealed and fully pressurised. I tipped it down the drain and it looked as fizzy as normal so I had a sniff halfway through and it smelt quite normal as well. I suspect that it was still actually drinkable, but I wasn't game to try. Anybody here ever been desperate enough to dring aged beer? Bottles go flat, but it looks like tins are another story altogether. I'd put them on TM as "vintage beer" but I don't think you can auction liquor. :D Cheers Billy 8-{) :wub |

| 648300 | 2008-03-10 05:53:00 | I've tried beer that was about a year beyond expiry, and it was ok. I don't think I'd risk any longer though. | Greg (193) | ||

| 648302 | 2008-03-10 07:18:00 | Many moons ago at the opening of the fishing season at Lake Alexandrina a boat capsized and a flagon of beer was lost to the depths. A year later it was retrieved with the help of some diving gear and a compulsory round was ordered and had to be drunk. It tasted bloody awful and could best be described as vinegar that had gone off. | Dally (6292) | ||

I am a loyal DB man although I would drink a redskin(Lion Red) beer after a day loading hay bales on a very hot day or if very drunk. Went home to Nelson at Xmas, never saw a redskin drinking them signifies you are Jaffa |

"Take the top of a flagon, and if it sucks the cork in, that's genuine Harleys". It was reputed to be good for tadpoles. Whether the tadpoles were involved before or after it was sold I never inquired. :crying |

My Dad said in the early 50s it wasnt unknown for a hop to block the Harleys beer spigot in the pub. I havent heard a nice comment on Harleys beer which I suppose was the reason it died out. |
