Default Is my beer still good?

I'm not a beer drinker so not sure if I could tell.

Recently bought a 'beer' fridge and was putting beer in it from the last party. Looked at Born on dates and they were Nov 05.

Canned beer stored in a dark place (room temp). Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Mich Golden Light.

Should I still serve them or throw the whole lot out?

It could still be good since it has been in a dark place... Bud (Bud Light) "peaks" within 110 days from the born on date (according to my bartender). You need to have a friend over to test it if you don't drink beer. I just can't say I've ever had this problem.

You're welcome! Surely MN needs some serious beer advice. Unless he hangs with an unseemly crowd that drinks that piss water, from a can no less! How uncouth!
Seriously, though, I never knew MN liked NASCAR that much.

Thanks for the advice. (The old beer is going to work tommorrow, for testing purposes)

*Grey Goose or Kettle One, so obviously I'm very couth!

Oh, yes, you're couth. I'm concerned about that gang you hang out with. They're nothing but trouble!!
Pop quiz: Junior's and Jeff Gordon's race car numbers. If you know this, then those punks are a bad influence on you. Find some decent friends.

"Work"? MN seems a nice place to work!!

Sorry to hijack this thread, but anyone know any good drinking games?

One that I remember from college was called SLAM. You have two teams. You need a sturdy table and a quarter. Team 1 puts their hands under the table and gives one player the quarter. Team 2 says "hands up" and the Team 1 has to lift their hands balled up in fists. Team 2 says "hands down" and Team 1 in unison slams down their hands on the table after opening them up. The object is for Team 2 to hear which hand contained the quarter. They pick one hand at a time with the goal being to leave behind the hand with the quarter at the end. If Team 2 can uncover all the hands before leaving just the hand with the quarter, then reverse roles. If they can't, then they must each drink one shot of beer for each hand not picked after the quarter hand is revealed. Then Team 1 keeps the quarter and goes again.

Not those beers, not after a year. Throw them away.

Don't worry about it, got my question answered. Beer is going to the trash.

Here's one we used to do: Last one to finish their drink pays for next round.
Very very simple, yet amazingly effective.

TDA every 3rd Thursday of the month is a beer day. And occasionally we get confused and think it's the 3rd Thursday when it really isn't
