Question

What about 10 year aged beer? I mean i'm drinking it right now and it tastes okay.

Answer 1

Aging/cellaring beer is a trial and error sort of thing.  As a rule of thumb beers with high ABVs and high alpha acid contents are going to have a longer shelf life but even then there's no guarantee you'll wind up with a better beer over time.  In my experience imperial stouts, old ales, and barley wines are the best for aging.  I've had wonderful 10 year old barleywines before.

Answer 2

it depends on the beer.

lager style beers usually don't preserve for that long due to the yeast strains that are used.  But they won't be bad to drink they'll just taste funny

the high yeast beers (beers that ferment at elevated temperature) usually preserve a lot longer often for many years.  I've drank a few bottles of guinness that were over 10 years of age and still tasted fine.

many beers age like wine, but of course they don't conserve over dozens of years, but they will conserve for quite a while.

Answer 3

I personally wouldn't know about 10 yr aged beer and I'll take your word for it.  I don't know where you are from but I live in the United States and they started this "born on date" thing a few years back.  I think it is a bunch of B.S.!  I can't tell the difference if a beer is a few weeks old as opposed to one that didn't get rotated in the cooler at the bar and might be a year old!
