    Absolutely, but I tell you I would rather drink the two year old Molson than that Sam Adams crap.l

    As for the beer itself, I've never had it, and I certainly don't trust beer advocate when it comes to most craft brews. There's just too much mutual masturbation over small-run beer for the sake of it being small-run. Personally, I even have a hard time throwing down Imperial stouts in the winter (e.g. Rasputin, definitely a sipping beer). On a hot summer night I don't know if I would have the kojones to order that even if it actually lives up to the beer advocate rating. You must have an iron tongue!



    He can only think about math if it involves billable hours.

    What tipped me off wasn't the distaste for Sam, but rather it was the rant about Guinness. Anyway, there's no shame in an occasional piss-up. I just got a kick out of the posts.



    About your choice in beer, I'd say that you don't like hops too much based on your reviews. Fortunately, there are many beers that are malt-dominant. I tend to be the opposite, which is fine too because there are many beers that are hops-dominant. Variety in beer is a wonderful thing.

    Now that I'm in London the Stella is nice and cheap and accessible. Has to be fresh though.

    That's rubbish, that Wikipedia sometimes... Lemonade is very different from 7up or Sprite or "Soursop" (google that).

    Vodka definitely brings out my more aggressive side. Interesting observation on the hops. So what would be a more a good more malt dominated brew?

    OK I gave up half way through that mega post but I think it depends on the quality of the beer and its alcohol content. A good quality beer with a high alcohol content (such as the European "monk" beers) should be able to be cellared in much the same way as a wine can. After all the alcohol content of these beers can be 8-10% and the high alcohol content will retard spoiling somewhat. It will also depend on how sweet or dry the beer is. A dry beer will spoil less quickly than a sweet beer as the sugar will continue to ferment slowly. A sealed standard beer may be drinkable but if you have 2yr + old standard beers I'd suggest drinking more often.

    Drink. Hell, get a little drunk and drink it. I am sure it will without doubt taste fine after a few anyway

    Oh, I've taken to using the offending Molson for cooking. So for recipes that call for beer (like boiling shrimp, making homemade spanish rice, or boiling bratwursts-- yeah bratwursts boiled in beer, butter, onions, and garlic is a nice alternative to the grill), you never know the difference.



    Just bought a case of the "Beers of Mexico" variety pack: Dos Equis Lager Especial, Dos Equis Amber, Sol, and Tecate.



    Killed a case of Jimmy Buffet's Corona (whatever it's called... landshark?) at the PSU tailgate with the twin bro last week.

    Well I'm gonna go ahead and bring back a 5 year old thread. Warsteiner Dunkel best before October 24th 2010 4.8 abv, Drinking this beer is a bad choice... I know that every sip I take I will regret it more and more the next morning but I am damn thirsty and it smells good I think. I'm trying to tell myself that anyway...sigh Why can't beer last forever. I thought God created beer and he lasts forever so I don't get it

    Beer has a shelf life of 120 days after that it's anyone guess.

    Drinking Coors Light right now with the date 2 years back. Tastes like the day they bought it. "They" as in my gf and her ex. To hell with not drinking old beer. Tastes the same, fizzed when it opened, and maybe even a little more potent. ^.^

     

    Me "Who's beer is this?"

    Her -shuffle feet- "My ex boyfriends" -goes to grab beer- "I'll get rid of it"

    Me -grabs beer- "he lost it in the breakup"

     

    Free beer from ex? What beer?

    Im literally drinking beer "expired" in 2000, and born in jan. 02. And surprisingly, and im 2 full beers in plus half of the opened one, im getting drunker than off of "fresh" beer. Thats the only reason im on this thread. Because i ran out of wine and knew there were about 10 random cans and bottles of beer from over a decade ago in my basement storage room. Old beer is great, actually. But, as id imagine, this is only because it was in a cool environment its whole time here. Had it sat in my attisc even for a week, itd be undrinkable. Itd still get you hammered, but at a cost. I once drank beer that sat out in summer heat, under a wheelbarrow for a week. Got us trashed, we made it long enough to bang before her and i got debilitating headaches and heaving and a hoing everywhere, followed be about 12 hours in bed. But beer kept in a suitable temp, i dont thing age does a thing to it.
