Just found a six pack of VB in the cupboard... It says " best before September 2013 ".
Any thoughts on how good it would still be???

VB has never been "good" in my books.
Stick it in the fridge and give it a try. If it's ends up crap, feed it to your dog or the lemon tree! .

It couldn't possibly get any worse.
They don't call it Vomit Box for no reason. |

Never saw VB as being fit for human consumption.
Can't be any worse than what it is when its in-date. |

Is beer, is good! However, beer does not have a long shelf life. It does not get better with age like whisky. It just goes off...

How did you drink it mate, Desert dry, Kimberley cool or Ice cold?
Sometimes I will tolerate average ales when icy cold. .

Throw it away and invest in Coopers pale or sparkling.

We use to do the VB "throwdowns" when I was in my 20s quite regularly.
Where they 250ml? Tasted like Camel P...s but use to get the job done. |

of all those that bag VB. I wonder how many of you drink crown's (re:RobDogg's post)
or corona's.. Now if you want to portray anything to likes of a vile brew... a more vile brew you could not find.. even if you add the lemon like a true metrosexual. |

Just don't open the session with that six pack. Knock back a dozen then be brave. Although I have been known to commit a dog act, taking a very old hot stale VB six pack into a drive thru and swapping for a nice cold 6 pack. Pure evil...

I thought beer doesn't go off, just has a "best before" not "use by" date?
We had some real old crownies that were at least 4 years old and they werent too bad. |

Crownies are nothing more than Fosters (export version) not he Australian Version or as I got informed by one of the boys form Abbottsford when I did some work there that "Crownies are nothing more than Fosters In Spec and used for Fosters for export and Fosters sold in Australia is the out of spec".
Don't know how true but we did the taste test with some Crown Lager "experts" they could pick when we weren't giving them Crownies up until the Fosters glass, they though it was a Crownie, so maybe truth is in the taste. |
