5 Yr. Ten Fidy

I had one that was about that old not long ago. Was at cellar temps vs fridge.
It was pretty good. Nothing amazing.

 

Hell, I hadn't noticed that. I just went and gave him his first "like" just for joining to ask the question. BTW, he hasn't cleaned his fridge in a minimum of 5 years? I mean, I've got beer I don't know I've got. But, it's in my friends (actual)cellar, and things get confused. I can't imagine having a beer in the fridge for 5 years and never noticing it.

 

I say this guy is a troll... with all due respect. "Oh, wow, what is that in my fridge right behind the milk and the pickles? I forgot to look at it for FIVE years" Yeah, right

 

Maybe, but I could see this happening...I've got probably 100 beers in my fridge right now, plus 100+ cellared away, the chance of something random (especially a can) getting lost in the shuffle certainly is a possibility.

 

But do you not clean and shuffle your fridge periodically? I empty my fridge completely and scrub it at least once a year... it is something that should be done, I think...

 

I do, most definitely! In fact I sort/organize my beer fridge a couple times a week, it's kind of become a weird habit at this point But for someone who isn't that diligent, or perhaps a can gets placed in the veggie drawer or something and gets stuck in the back, I can see it happening. Not to mention I think there are lots of people out there who don't clear their regular fridge like you said, let alone a beer fridge in the garage or something...

So no, this would never happen to me and probably most people, but it also doesn't surprise me that it would happen.

 

Drank a 2012 ten fidy the other night and it was amazing

 

I wonder why anyone would have to ask.. Generally speaking, no matter how old a beer, try it. Cant be worse than just dumping it. Its not going to kill you..

 

Ten Fidy ages beautifully!

 

Did a 5 year vertical about a year ago and they were all great. Memory is little foggy but I think the 5yr was the weakest but not by much. 1-2 years seemed to be best.

 

I had this one from 2006 a few weeks back. It was still surprsingly delicious.

 

It will be great!

 

I agree. When in doubt I whip it out... The bottle opener that is. I recently found behind my kegerator covered in dust, two six packs. One was a blueberry wheat ale and the other a kolsch, both brewed by me in 2012. Neither was very good but I didn't hesitate to crack them open.
