Question

How long will beer last in the refrigerator? Will it eventually go bad?

Answer 1

I dont think so, test it out by having a big party and get drunk LoL

Answer 2

Most American beer has an expiration date on it's product. This is the optimum for taste. Beer can last up to 3 months, fully flavorful. After awile, it will taste funny. To you, not necessarily to guests!Get rid of it after 6 months. No good to anyone! Cooking included!

Answer 3

Depends how old it already is, should last about 3-4 months if it isn't open. It might have a use by date, if not, give it a few months. But you'll be able to tell if you have an expired one. IT will smell real nasty and it will taste much worse.

Answer 4

A good rule of thumb is to look at the alcohol content. Anything over about 6% or so will keep for an extremely long time and most can be aged. Less than that and you might wanna drink it up within a few months.

Again this is a general rule, not the be all and end all.

Answer 5

It best within a few months. But crack it open and try it out! If its bad, you will be able to smell it. Happy drinking!

Answer 6

Beer goes bad??  Guess I never got the chance to find out.  hehe

The best way to make a beer go bad is to refrigerate it and then let it get warm.  Keep it in the sun.  Switching it between extreme temperatures for a while will surely "skunk" the beer.

Answer 7

Not in my fridge. Every day it's 5:00 somewhere!

Answer 8

110 days most beers last on average.

Answer 9

Woah Woah Woah....hold up here.  There is plently of good solid beer, even American, which is perfectly find to age. Although  all macro brewed beer is best consumed when purchased, micro is a different story. Higher ABV (alcohol by volume) brews it could be argued improve with age. Russian Imperial Stouts, Barleywines,  Belgian triples and strong ales all hold up remarkably well even after years.

So, Bud Miller or Coors drink now, high quality micro, ok to sit.
