How long is it safe to use unopened bottles of beer?
I have bottles-2-3 years old in my garage-should I throw them out
Answers:
What kind are they? Major brands like Bud and Miller have a shelf life of about 6 months. Most beers can only bee saved for about a year. HOWEVER, There are some out there that can be cellared just like wine. I myself have a bottle of Thomas Hardy Ale from 1992 and another from 2003. Both are still considered to be good.
If it's a mass market beer I would toss it.
If it's an import or micro of high quality I'd give it a shot.
