Beer Emergency

[Rorey]

I just discovered that my beer's "Best If Used By" date was last month. I mean, it still tastes good, but I have five, so I'm kind of in a panic. Back in the day, drinking five beers would be nothing. Nowadays, one is my limit.

Seriously, though, I'll probably just go pour them on some plants outside.

1. Haven't you seen those on cable eating old food?

You have five maybe ten years on that beer.

[Rorey]

8. They must get sick

That's truly disgusting.

[LakeArenal]

10. It's pretty gross.

[Xipe Totec]

2. It's fine. You won't get sick. But the flavors may be dull.

What are we talking here, craft beer, generic lagger, or Falstaff (the Ripple of beers).

[Rorey]

4. My sons sneer when I tell them

MGD. It's what I like best, and nobody else does, so nobody ever snags any of mine.

[Xipe Totec]

5. You're safe then. You won't notice any difference in non-flavor.

So long as you keep laggers cool and away from sunlight they're fine.

They'll skunk if you warm them.

[Rorey]

7. LOL

Don't be getting all "beer snobby" on me.

18. That's my husbands favorite beer

He’ll try the “fancy” ones but always goes back to that. We'll buy a mixed case of high-falutin’ stuff for company and that stuff will stay in the fridge for months.
My daughter and her husband like that no-carb seltzer water beer. YUCK.

3. No worries for past due beer.

They might have lost some flavor, taste a little flatter or sweeter, but should still be safe to drink.

What kind of beer is it?

[Rorey]

6. MGD

I really only ever drink it after doing yard work. I finish my work and then sit on the back patio and admire it while drinking my ONE beer. For some reason it tastes better this year. Maybe it's because this is the first full year without the negativity of the husband I divorced last year.

[cayugafalls]

19. MGD should be fine.

I bet it taste just fine. I hope you had your one beer and saved the rest. They will last for quite a while longer.

Have a good night and I am glad you are out of that relationship.

[Rorey]

20. It just wasn't hitting the spot

Probably because I didn't deserve it because I didn't do much today.

And thank you. Yes, conceding that the ex was lost to the cult was a good decision.

9. I bought a 6 pack of Anchor Steam and carried it around in my trunk for two years bouncing & rolling

around. It was fine.

I spent many years with a daily beer requirement; I've gone from a six pack at least a day to about a six pack a year. It's still my favorite hobby, but I just don't do it any more.

[Rorey]

11. It really tasted ok? That's crazy!

When I was clearing my ex-husband's stuff out of the garage I found a bottle of Patron which I know travelled around in his truck for a long time. I put it in one of his boxes. I don't like tequila anyway.

[Squidly]

15. i dont think liquor ever goes bad

I could be wrong, but the hard stuff is made to last

[Rorey]

16. I just have no use for tequila

I almost dumped it out, just to spite him. (He voted for OrangeAss, btw.)

[NBachers]

26. My girlfriend found a nearly-full bottle of Jim Beam "Beams Choice" in her dad-in-law's cabinet

many years after he died. I traced the commemorative label back to the 80's. I brought it to a family get-together in Yosemite a couple of years back, and it got hearty approval. Wasn't skunky; nobody got sick; and it got consumed and enjoyed. I was glad to provide the experience. Sitting there all those years.

[denbot]

33. That was probably pretty good bourbon

8 year bonded in barrel, yeah buddy.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Yea, but that's Anchor Steam - one of my faves, by the way.

The best memory I have of my ex-spouse, was the day she flew back to Houston from San Francisco with sourdough bread, live Dungeness crabs, and Anchor Steam beer.

That was the best backyard pick-nick ever.

[bottomofthehill]

13. I love Anchor Steam.

It was difficult to get on the East Cost in the 90’s but now total beverage has brought it to the masses.

[bottomofthehill]

14. I still love an old school Bud Longneck too

[Xipe Totec]

17. Here's the genealogical tree for beers:

https://beerandwhiskeybros.com/2010/09/21/cool-graphic-beers-family-tree/

Anchor Steam is classified as a California Common, originating from American Laggers.

So, surprisingly, it is a lagger.

[bottomofthehill]

21. This is great.

I have been playing follow the beer all around. I have to put down the iPhone and flip open the laptop to look at it on a full screen.

Thanks for giving me 30 minutes of not obsession on this insane election.

You made my night.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

29. Lager. Not lagger.

Lagger is something entirely different.

Lager is beer.

[denbot]

34. Awesome link

I bookmarked it for later. Thanks Xipe

22. Filter it through the kidneys before watering the plants with it.

[Rorey]

23. LOL, I'm probably not going to do that.

I have neighbors!!!

And these days there are also drones!

[Lochloosa]

27. Wait till it's dark. It's what I do. 😂

[denbot]

24. Drink the fucking beer!

Geeze, what do they teach you kids in school these days

[Rorey]

25. LOL, it's been a LONG time since I've been in school

I grew up in a rural area and my school was very small. Do they have beer-drinking classes at those fancy big city schools???

[Lochloosa]

28. Hell, they have beer brewing classes now.

[denbot]

31. I took emergency bong improvisation.

I was such a good student I almost flunked the class..
And yeah, I’m from the 10 bucks a lid generation.

[bottomofthehill]

30. I drank Heffenreffer in high school and college

If I lived through that, nothing will kill me. Chill and drink the beer

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

32. I don't see a "Best If Used By" date on my sixpack of Billy Beer.

Maybe they made better stuff, back when.

Someday, I'm going to try one.
