DaveyBoy75 Â Â 10 #26 Posted June 14, 2012 Earlier today got some cans for the football tonight and just noticed the expiry date on the bottom of the cans - 13th June 2012. I know that was only yesterday so should they be ok to drink? Â It's not Black Sheep in cans from R&B, is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
namtaB Â Â 10 #27 Posted June 14, 2012 Yes I see what you did there. It doesn't alter the fact that out of date beer is no stronger than when it was fresh. Â As Stella has been brewed in this country for years it is unlikely that much of the imported stuff has been sold here recently. Not forgetting that the imported stuff is also a watered down imitation of the proper stuff even buying in Belgium and importing means you get something no stronger than a pint of Abbott. Â Perhaps the can refered to was a pub keg. Â I dread to think that the mad fool has found a Watney's party 7 ...omg ! certain DOOM !!! :hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
denomis   10 #28 Posted June 14, 2012 I disagree in this case beer.. (see what I did there ?) Stella is not the same Abv nowadays as the imported stuff. The Stella that you get in Morrisons et. al. is brewed by wassocks in white corporate uniforms sat in front of a keyboard and monitor, producing chemical beer..... As for the guy that you were replying to. I fail to believe that he got very drunk from 1 can/bottle of Stella...  Lightweight...  http://i.imgur.com/kPuae.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

chem1st   10 #32 Posted June 14, 2012 Are they from Rhythm & Booze per chance? They tend to sell out of date stuff at virtually no discount at all! Not surprised they went under  They still have many outlets in SY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DaveyBoy75   10 #33 Posted June 14, 2012 DaveyBoy75 - funnily enough it was Black Sheep from R & B...  I recognised the date  They must have had a huge consignment of them.  Have they been reduced down from 2.99 now they are out-of-date?
