Does beer go bad?!
Answers: I had an unopened bottle of corona in the fridge, for a while, and used it tonight in my chili. My chili is really good, but my husband said the beer might be bad. What do you think. I'm not exactly sure how long it has been in the fridge.
it may have been a bit stale but not "bad" in the way that it would make you sick. Import beer has a very long shelf life( if must come over on a very slow boat) so a domestic beer has a life of about 100 days, an import beer has a life of about 250. You will be fine.
yes beer goes bad. when it is really bad it gets all snotty ropey and thick
Yes, next time take a look at the expiration date.
It shouldn't go bad after one night of it being open, it would go flat and taste awful though, good choice of putting it in the chili and not for drinking
Yep, beer goes bad and not all beer is conducive to cooking.
If a recipe calls for beer, I would consider the basic flavors of the beer. Guiness is a little chocolatey/coffee flavored. It might work with barbeque. Pale/lite American beer never works with meat. I wouldn't put beer in my chili, ever. It would have to be a heavy stout before I would consider it.
I have a friend who swears it does. Some small breweries don't use a lot of additives to their beer to preserve it. And one of the ones he swears will go bad if it is too old is corona
Yes, beer can go bad. Especially if it is cooled down, then warmed to room temperature and is recooled.

I'm not to sure about how long before beer goes bad! i think you just have to check into this more on the web!
But I do alot of cooking with beer! I like putting a can of Beer in my Ham before I bake it! I also make Beer Cheese Soup, Beer Bread, in my Chili and Beer Batter for fresh Fish! There is many more recipe that call for beer and even day old open beer!
depends how long your talking about sitting in the fridge like a week or like couple monthes?
