Anyone had any success with this? Reason I ask is that I have a bottle of Old Peculiar that is 5 years out of date so I wrote to Theakston's asking if they could assist. They fobbed me off. My email is written below.
I'm going to write to them tomorrow!
To whom it may concern,
Upon recently clearing out a cupboard that I do not often venture into, I have discovered a bottle of 'Theakston Old Peculiar Ale'. I'm sure you can imagine my glee at finding such a fine ale after a hard days of cleaning and tidying up. I sat down, and prepared myself to drink such a delicious beverage. However, I was soon struck with an issue that prevented me from allowing the sweet, precious, and delicious nectar from entering my mouth and flooding joyfully over my tastebuds. The issue is such: The Best Before date is "31/03/05" (with the code 'L1810505' placed below this date). Good grief I exclaimed, to much surprise from my cat who darted across the room. I could not, however much I wanted to, drink this! Who knows of the untold dangers that I could find myself in.
So, Theakston. Are you able to assist me in my penchant for your fine ale.
I thank you in advance,
Kind Regards.

Dear Mr Frew
Thank you for your email
We would always advise that a product should be used before the best before date. After this date has expired,although the liquid will not cause illness, we can no longer guarantee the freshness of the product and the flavour/taste will not be up to the expected standard.
If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me on **********
Kind Regards
