Shelf Life Of A Keg Of Beer?

[SSuperDave]

My daughter's boyfriend is cleaning out the parts dept of his dealership, and found a keg of beer, never tapped. Its about 3 years old, any guesses if its any good or not?

 

[Derek69SS]

Only one way to find out.

 

[bikeron]

Probably good. Keep us updated.

I want to know How does someone Misplace a Keg of Beer? LOL

 

[cheveslakr]

Forgot the tap, then their parents found them in the pool. It happens.

Send each of us a quart sample and we'll let you know if it's still good.

Hi Von, good to see you in the house!

Divvying it up sounds good. How would you send it?

 

[68Chevele]

Shake it up and then open it, if the beer sprays out everywhere you know it's still good.

 

[kmakar]

Yeah, I'd think it'd be stale even if it still had some carbonation left.

 

[Derek69SS]

If it has gone stale you just put on a fedora, tell people it's a local microbrew with limited availability, and double the price.
People will pay a lot of money to drink crap beer from people with fedoras.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

I guess I'd put it in an empty plastic soda pop bottle, seal it up, put that in a padded box and ship it. Would be costly but hey, we're worth it aren't we?

 

[Alan F]

Y’all can have my share. I never acquired a taste for beer.

 

[kmakar]

I don't drink any alcohol at all anymore. Last bit of liquor I had was at my Dad's funeral 15 years ago. I only drink plain ole water, vitamin water, and gatorade (no soda or anything else).

 

[Shovelrick]

I drink beer but I wouldn't drink from that keg, gotta be stale

 

[SSuperDave]

Well, I emptied out so a friend could have it and lets just say that what was in there as no longer beer. Skunky does not begin to describe it. But I bet it makes the grass grow!

I'll stick to Schells or Bud Light.

I remember when we were 16 my friends and I were given a half keg of stale beer. We tapped it and drank it. It tasted like strong wine or something. Hey, we were 16, and it was free beer....
