Is this beer drinkable?

Question

I found a 30 or 40 ounce Sam Adams in my fridge today that I forgot about and I'm thristy. It's been a couple years, but it's been in my fridge in the basement which is dark and cool. Is it safe to drink? Can old beer get you drunk?

Answer 1

You 'found' it after two years? Does this mean that you have a particularly big fridge, or that you don't use it much?!!

Actually I have a bottle of Brooklyn lager which I know has been in my work fridge for over a year. Glad to hear its still good

Answer 2

yea its drinkable

Answer 3

if its alcohol you can drink it

Answer 4

Chug it.  

Answer 5

It's drinkable, just probably not particularly tasty. It'll get you as drunk as 40 ounces of Sam Adams should get you (slightly tipsy)

Answer 6

It is totally safe, just don't expect it to taste like a fresh Sam Adams.  It'll be interesting to see what it tastes like actually, I've never had one that old.

Answer 7

It's probably 40.  Yeah it's probably fine and hasn't lost the ability to intoxicate.  If you're thirsty I suggest water.  Water's so d**n good.
