Vintage Beer

Unoriginal - tee ball stand, aluminum bat...  You can figure the rest...  Maybe aim for the abandoned cars.

i like it.

Do you on any firearms? Along the same lines as above.  Maybe use the beds as a backdrop.

Yes.  I own firearms.  A little target practice on the farm might be fun. 

Does anyone know what happens chemically to really old beer?  Bud used to make a big deal about their "Born on Date"  and that their beer was fresh and others old beer being "skunky".

Old beer has not occurred in my house

From what I've heard, the taste changes, but it would be interesting to see how much. I've also heard that exposure to light is not good either, but again, that is something I've heard not experienced.  Now I need to text a home brewing friend of mine and see what he can tell me.  I'll let you know what he says.

This beer is 9 1/2 years old.  If it were a kid, it would be starting the fourth grade.  It lay in the dirt beside my house for at least 7 years.  Did you tell him that part?

I will probably open it into a glass, take a picture to post here, then flush it all down the drain.  And, truly I am trying to protect your husband from himself when I do so.

My husband used to work at a can plant for Anheuser-Busch. I asked him what you should do with the beer. He asked why you weren't already drinking it, and if you don't want it he is accepting donations!

He's English. Its a matter of national pride to drink all the beer!

I shall warm it up for him then. 

Why not take one of the cans and put it in the attic or some other hiding spot in the house with a short letter about its history.  Sort of like a time capsule.

You could even print a copy of this thread.

I replaced a fireplace mantel in the basement of our house and found all kinds of cool stuff hidden behind it from when the prior owner built it. 

We redid a bathroom in an earlier house.  When I took out the medicine cabinet, there sat an empty Iron City beer can.  That helped explain some of the issues with that bathroom 

I like the time capsule idea. Do you have anything else from the neighbor's yard that you could use?

I have made a video of the last few moments of this beer's life.  I am now trying to figure out how to post it with minimum trouble and learning.  The video is on my iPhone.  If anyone knows how to do it, please send me a direct message.

I put a video of the Vintage Beer's last moments of life on Youtube.  I don't think I can load it directly here.  Please go there and check it out.

Here are some stills taken moments before the video.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I'm not gonna drink it, it is Budweiser, after all."  Too funny.

There was a day when Budweiser was a hell of a beer.....but it ain't this day, and it wasn't 2006 either.

Aye, Lad.  When men were men and the sheep ran scared.
