Beer expiry date question

[husaberg]

Compared with the amount of expired medications kept in most homes that keep getting wheeled out, I doubt that a couple of expired beers could do much harm. To be honest, I cant ever remember looking for a expiry date on a beer can.

Trust me a beer which is bad you will know straight away it literally smells like shit.
methyl mercaptan the thing that makes shit and farts smell like shit.
Is what is produced when hops degrade. I think its from sunlight though not age.

Well I learnt something. Commercial beers are loaded with chemicals so its better not to be putting then in your body let alone your hair. At which point it rendered said article as crackpot which it was already sounding.

Anyway, isn't the approved method to open the door or curtain, clearly drunk shouting Sausagetime!

At mini bar prices I'd expect those chips or chocolates to have been hand made, packed and delivered that same day 😀

the only reason prices are so high is the number of dishonest people we have - Its not worth chasing a chocolate bar, or bag of chips, coke etc and there is also the cost of replacing best before prices. You would be surprised the number of bottles with water,tea (something else), holes in bottom of cans etc etc. Try charging a credit card and they will deny and there are more paying by eftpos who just leave with a "no nothing" and even the better ones are travelling with kids "no nothing used" and all fizzy, chips and chocolate are gone. When chased up "No Johnny said he didnt have it and he wouldnt lie - are you saying my child is a liar"

Only % of alcomahol is important. The rest is just "Flavour" ...

Meh, I just drank a bottle of Speights Old Dark with an expiry of June 2008, which I found inside the gargre wall ( it's a long story) . I left the last inch in the bottle , which was pretty sedimented, but the rest was all good. Y'r bikers, beer's beer, stop being so emo and Nancy boy and drink it up.

Good God! Haven't heard from you for years. Thought you must have gone to live in a cave or something.

I had a good look at the bottles today I mentioned that had been left by the bin in my opening post, here we go,

Turns out some of them were 'dated' back to 2005 and, they hadn't been left in a fridge as I wrongly stated but rather they had been in a cupboard, same thing but not as cold but still more open to the changes of temperature.

Heinekens and Steinlagers, all dated around 09/10 = full of floaters ... Binned - what a
shame.

The 'rubbish' beer left was DB Export and Tui's , checked a DB Export with a date of 05 ( ten years old) today and , 'Gulp' took the top off and, smelt alright so I finished it off then had another, not bad but not the best.

The bad news is I forgot that the shops weren't open today so I didn't buy any beer yesterday, good news is I still have a few bottles of 10 year old beer to sample so I'll keep going , isn't that what you would do ?

"that man deserves a (fresh) DB".

You will get someone to let us know if you die horribly in the night won't you?

I was thinking if this was to be a scientific test it needs some more rigous protocols
maybe a blind test where you buy a dozen of each and get blindfolded drink them at random and see if you can pick out the old beer from the other twelve. (just for science)

Methanol and Hydrogen Sulphide? = Methanethiol by-product
Like after eating asparagus....
We all produce the chemical but not all smell the 'asparagus pee'

They would have been the first to go. Worst hangover beer ever. Then the Tui would be binned. The Export is an emergency beer.
