It is not dangerous!
Time-expired
beer does not make you
sick. Bacteria cannot grow in beer - partly because of the content of
alcohol,
carbon dioxide and bitter components of hops and partly because the
pH value is low, just below 4.5.The
flavour may however have changed and turned
bread-like.
The
bottles are labelled "
best before". That means that the beer is still
drinkable after the fixed expiry date but that
no guarantees are given for
flavour or
appearance. The "old" taste appears
gradually, depending on the
storage conditions.
Remember to keep your beer
cool and protect it against
heat and
sunlight.
