Does beer really expire?

edited December 2009 in All Encompassing Trip
I have a couple of cases of various bottled & canned beer that's been sitting around my house (because I don't drink beer) since a party I had about 3 years ago. I just realized that most of it has an expiration date of 2007. Should I just pour it all down the drain or is there something more productive I should do with it to get it out of my house? I'm never going to drink it. I was saving it so I'd always have beer for friends, but now that I realized it's expired I don't know if I should even serve it to them. Any suggestions?

    Yes beer does do bad. Doesn't taste very good at all.

    Not sure if it would work or not, but maybe use it for beer brats?

    Otherwise, yeah, pour it down the drain!

    You can use beer as snail bait. It's much more pet friendly than actual bait. You just pour a little into a saucer and leave it in the garden...put a saucer about every 3 or 4 plants, and it's very effective. The snails climb in to drink the beer and then they drown. Works very well....I use it a lot...my problem is that I open a bottle to use the tiniest bit for snail bait, and then drink the rest lol...can't let it go to waste,...but if it's out of date, then you may be able to utilise it this way.

    Oh, ok, see now I understand the point of catching them.

    You didn't say in the first post that it was to protect the plants from being gobbled up by snails.

    So, uh, yeah scb, go find a garden in need of protection from snails!

    When I was MUCH younger there was a phase where we all had to wash our hair with beer so I suppose you could use it for that. But I can't remember what it was supposed to accomplish except give you smelly hair! j/k We rinsed it out, of course. Maybe it was to make it shiny? It was a big deal in my early teens but that was a very long time ago. :lol: :roll: :shifty: :wave:

    Beer makes your hair shiny and holds your curls (if you have any!). Flat beer (not a too strong one), mixed with a bit of water as a final rinse gives shine and volume to your hair.

    What a FANTSTIC idea!! I'm going to look into that. I'd hate to see all this beer go to waste, and I have a lot of hair to wash so I'm sure it would take a lot of beer! Thank! :D :geek:

    Yes. I was shown a bottle of beer from Italy once that was about 4 years old. I held it up to the light and it had chunks of yeast or something floating in it. Yuck. I'm sure you have already made up your mind, OP, but dump it if you haven't already. Or use it on something else mentioned in this thread.

    I considered it. It's bound to be better than hairspray or mouthwash.
