Got Some Free Beer....!!!

The item in question...

(Low camera angle to emphasize the largeness of the keg)

WIN! ^

Lose? ^

Is it likely to be biologically unsafe? Dare I open it? I have a load of beer in the fridge already, waiting for Christmas, so I though perhaps I could dish some out when my mates come round for some seasonal jars? Maybe that'd be unwise and I'd end up on a manslaughter charge?

What does OcUK think?

Jonny69 · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:38

Oooooo I probably wouldn't

Give it to the local homeless guys they will like it

James07 · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:39

only one way to find out ;-)

Sell it to your old man, if you're feeling like a bit of revenge.

i say make it explode somehow

robmiller · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:40

I think it'll taste like crap but I can't see it being unsafe per se.

Jotun · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:41

Try it and see.

Might as well give it a go

I got a free bottle of Teacher's Whiskey on Tuesday

Drank half a litre of it in about 2 hours - didn't feel too great the next day

Will finish it off tonight

Free alcohol is the best !

danza · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:46

Ok, I'll open it up outside. I had express waring that it might be a bit 'lively' upon opening....

I'll report back post haste with the findings!

I've given crates of bottled lager to friends that were two years out of date, and they said they couldn't taste much difference. None of them were ill, and one night they must have each drunk a dozen bottles (I drank out of date Newcastle, never a lager fan, and I stopped drinking altogether a while ago.)

If your really feeling lucky i can give you half a keg of carling that has been sat in a warm cellar for 2 years

Mr_L · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:49

Bodingtons mings whether it's in or out of date. If it kills you, you deserve it.

shimy182 · 14 Dec 2006 at 21:51

Im sure the reason they have expire dates on most product is because chemical reactions occure and certain details will differ to what it may say on the package and its illegal to sell in that case...

in beers case.. maybe more alcoholic ?
im sure its fine

but dont cash in on it.

The results:

To say it is gassy in that keg would be an understatement. The resulting glass was originally about 80% head from the beer spraying into the glass/over the worktop/everywhere. It exited the tap with a hollow, high pitched farty sound.

It smells....picks up glass...more alcoholic than 4.8%, though quite normal.

It tastes....(probably) nothing like it should (I've only had Boddingtons once before), pretty watery, savoury, you can tell it's beer, but kind of 16th century style. A bit like honey minus the sugar. I think I need to buy a can to compare to be able to deem it fit for human consumption. I will however drink this half pint and see what happens!

May consider this if I think it's too dangerous to give to my mates
