The Oldest Beer You've Had

1992 Third Coast Old and and 1994 Expedition in December of 2011. Both were among the best of the respective beers I have ever had.

 

I had a 2007 Old Guardian last year, so it was close to five years old.

 

Not very old... 5 yr. old Raison D'Extra.

 

I had a 1971 (or 1972, I forget) Rodenbach a while back that tasted remarkably similar to fresh Rodenbach.

 

I can't even understand what this means.

 

The oldest, not drunk by me, that I can remember reading on BA was an 1869 Ratcliff Ale. Or at least, he has some. I can't truly remember which. Where the hell are you, Traquairlover????

 

I would refrigerate the thing for a few days, then pour slowly, and hope the sludge don't come out in chunks!! Alternatively, you can use a coffee filter! I'd still hit it!!

Good luck dude!!!

 

Found a couple of these at a flea market back in October. So naturally I had to drink one.

 

Got to try a '87 Goudenband recently and it was absolutely phenomenal.

 

All I have is an empty. It must be drinking gloriously by now.

 

It wasn't horrible. Still have a full can that I don't know what to do with.

 

Thanks! I know I probably shouldn't be as excited as I am to try this beer. I just can't wait though.

 

Find a can of Billy beer and mix 'em.

Mine was nothing special (too a lot of you guys) but it was a 02 JW Lees and it tasted like apple butter

 

Somewhere around here there use to be a full can of Iron City Beer with the Steelers team picture for a label. I believe it was to celebrate the 1978 Super Bowl. Is that right? Too lazy to google if that is the correct year.

 

It means a friend of his poured a can of 'Four Loko' brand flavored malt beverage into an empty Cantillon bottle and served it to him. The implication is that this was an unexpected surprise, which he found to be an experience.

 

I had a 7 years old SA summer ale. Just so strange and bad, but interesting

 

Forgive me, it's still a little unclear.

 

I see what you did there

Cheers!

 

I have an empty of that one as well. I'm too lazy to go down to the basement and look. I'm too busy with this bottle in front of me.
