I have MGD beer that is two years old ,can I still drink it?
It is the bottle kind
Answers:
Since MGD is not heat pasteurized but is cold filtered it has shelf life but not as much as heat pastueurized beer so... I'd open one and 'smell' it first before I put it to my lips.
Miller Genuine Draft―Miller Genuine Draft was introduced in 1986 as the original cold filtered packaged draft beer, which means that the beer is not heat pasteurized. Miller uses an exclusive cold-filtered process that prevents some of the beer's flavor from being heated away - delivering what consumers perceive to be a draft fresh beer in a shelf stable bottle or can. MGD received the gold medal in the American-style Premium Lager category at the 1999 World Beer Cup. It also received the silver medal at the 2003 American Beer Festival. The concept for Cold-filtered Miller Genuine Draft was developed by new product consultant Calle & Company. Martin Calle, a long-time neighbor of the W.R. Grace family, original owners of Miller Brewing, evolved the concept from Miller's New Ventures effort to launch a new dry beer at a time Miller Brewing was in danger of becoming a much-cloned Lite Beer manufacturer. Today, Miller Genuine Draft is arguably Miller's most popular brand. Originally introduced as "Miller High Life Genuine Draft", the "High Life" part of the name was soon dropped. MGD is actually made from the same recipe as Miller High Life, with a different treatment. High Life is heat pasteurized after packaging and MGD is filtered before packaging. It was developed to give High Life drinkers the same taste in a can or bottle as they found in non-pasteurized kegs. It has 4.7% ABV.
If you want to die.
I would not. Beer does age, but not like fine wine. If it's too old it rots in a way. I found a beer in my grandparents garage that goes back a few years and it was horrible!!! Go out and buy a new 6 pack of Corona and have a good time!!
Are you that big of an alcoholic?? beer skunks after 3 months!!!!
I would gurgle it down myself
Has it been kept cold or room temp? If it has been cold then you can probably drink it but if it has been at room temp then I would chill it and take a tiny sip before drinking much of it. Beer does not keep like wine.
you would know at first sip it it was skunked. since it is a clear bottle, look to see if anything looks like it is growing in it. but to be on the safe side, just put it in your fridge, you know you would have a friend that comes over and grabs a beer. let the unsuspecting mooch do the testing for you
short answer - NO
long answer - lower alcohol content items like mgd beer (4.7% i think) can age for about 3-6 months before starting to go bad. something like a strong ale that has 7-10% can go more like 1-3 years and 10% and up can age from 5-hundreds of years depending on what kind of alcohol and if it is still "living" (yeast still present) or not. basically the beer is most likely flat, the flavors are gone, and it will be making its way towards something horribly tasting. its not worth drinking unless someone is aobut to bet you something to dirnk it.
I would not drink it. Unilke some of the people who answered this question, but know nothing about beer, say, nothing that can kill you can ever be present in beer. The alcohol will kill anything that harmfull.
It would taste bad though. MGD is not made to be cellared. I have had some beers that were over 11 years old. The MGD would probably taste like metal. It would be oxadised, and extremly light struck. Why drink it when you can get a 30 pack for $10.

You shouldn't even have drank it 2 years ago. Yellow fizzy just makes you pee a lot.
