Well it's not Coffee, food or wine, BUT

Does the beer in these mini kegs things go off?

I've had one in my cupboard out of direct light for a few years and was wondering if it would still be ok to drink it?

Well I was thinking of sharing it with some SNA'rs, but I don't want to kill em or open it before they're here

Hi,

 

Beer is a perishable product and should be considered along with fruit and veg! Having said that it does not go off or become harmful to the consumer. The flavour and physical stability gradually decline over time...

 

A 'few years' is quite a stretch even for beer well packaged in pristine condition.. the good news is it won't hurt anyone... give it a try!

 

Cheers,

Some beers mature with age. Coopers Vintage Ale springs to mind.

That is the key. If it is an old fashioned ale the storage time is lengthy.

However if it is a lager then the best thing that could be done after 2 years is to pour it down the sink. Lagers are best drunk immediately and are really way past their best after 6 months maximum.

This is the one  - To tell you the truth I forgot I had this for a couple of years and only remembered it last year.

5 Litres Heineken

Heineken is a lager Grumpy so not good news

Imported beers often have a "Best by" date on them so it will give you an idea of its age.

It is not improving with age
