    Not referring to DKML or other crafts. I mean your run of the mill mass produced Colt 45, Old E, etc..
    Malt Liquor enthusiasts on social media rave about expired Big Bear Malt Liquor. Supposedly the last batch of this stuff expired in October of 2011, and to this day people are still drinking it, nearly 6 years expired, claiming it tastes great. Apparently Big Bear is currently one of the "white whales" among hardcore Malt Liquor drinkers.

    Have any of you ever had experience with expired malt liquor? Ever try a five year old Big Bear? Also, if any of you have access to this stuff please PM me.

    Malt liquor? Now I've seen everything lol.

    I can see those aging well given the brash flavors when fresh.

    As for access to Big Bear- where was this stuff distributed geographically? I can keep an eye out at gas stations (seriously) if it made it out to the PNW.

    I don't know where they were distributed unfortunately. I keep thinking California but that's probably because it shares the same name as a town in that state. I have never seen it in New York.

    I looked it up, it is a PBR brand distributed in the region. Doesn't look too familiar label wise, but then again I'm am out my element here :slight_smile:
