    Not knowing the beer, it may be past it's prime, but maybe not. 4 months, it shouldn't be horrible. I'd try it and then decide. I'm not one for dumping beer without having tried it.

    If it wasn't in direct sunlight and the temperature in the garage didn't wildly fluctuate, it is probably fine.

    Yeah, 4 months isn't that bad. If you were looking at 4 years, now, that would be a different story.

    Can't imagine pouring out a beer I hadn't tried...
