Just send the missus away first and you’re good to go.
It’ll probably taste a little weird but then again it is stella after all 😂
For some reason I thought those were, like, Sodastream flavours
Hmm. Wonder if you could recreate beer by mixing SodaStreamed water, just the right amount of ethanol, and a squirt of Carling concentrate
There’s only one way to find out. I believe that is to drink the lot just to make sure
Shotgun it.
have drank stuff that was 5 years out of date and it’ll be fine, just get your best tank top on and send the Mrs to see her mum and you’ll be golden for the night.
Do it you fanny.
Well it can’t get much worse with age.
Ask your wife tomorrow after you’ve drunk it.
I remember once I worked at a football club bar (well, ran it). They ordered loads of booze for some big event in August, sold most but not all so we ended up with 3-4 kegs of lager (Carling iirc). The club bar sold a bit, but not at the same rate – a keg would last a couple of months easy, so by the time we got to the end of them they were quite a bit out of date.
Near the end of the season, the chairman came in and asked for a pint. Poured it for him, “urgh, what’s this shit? It tastes off!” To which I replied “it’s the new keg … we’ve been selling stale beer since October”. At which point he went very quiet, keen not to alert the regulars to it.
I loved working at that bar, genuinely the most tin pot place I’ve ever worked, but also easily the most fun. Cos the bar was only in use once every other week, we’d fill the pipes with water between games … meaning thanks to the long pipes, there was 2 pints of bitter, 2 pints of lager, 2 pints of strongbow and 1.5 pints of woodpecker that had to be “drained”. Usually in to pint glasses, which were then disposed of responsibly by me (bitter), the chairman (pint of lager) and the manager (2 pints of snakebite, 2 pints of cider).
Anyway, I’d say probably chuck it at this stage. But, you know, you could always try half a pint and decide from that! You never know …
Our local shop used to sell reaaly out of date beers cheap, we even had to use a tea strainer to get some of the “bits”out sometimes. I’m still here! Lol.
Drink it, what’s the worst that could happen… Get into a fight?
All good
Well it’s disgusting to start with, so you’ve little to lose.
It might have developed some flavour – I’d go for it 😵
I don’t think you’ll be able to tase the difference.
Once got the shits on Christmas Day from out of date lager…but I’m sure you’ll be fine 🙂
If you have your tank top on, I’ve heard they’ll be fine!
As a lad who used to work at a brewery and often got the “out of spec” beer or expired beer at a discount. Its likely to be completely safe, as its been pasteurized when its a nitro keg.
Opposed to real ale, if that was 3 years out of date it would be trying to climb out of the barrel.
What might be “off” is its gasses, so it might be more “flat” or “stale” but shouldn’t be undrinkable.
Acidic tastes or really cloudy beer (should be clear when its stella) is a sign its went off. But again its hard to have anything real nasty grow in beer cos of the alcohol content. So even if you drank it its low risk.
Let us know if “aged” Stella is anybetter than standard
Only one way to find out
chug chug chug chug….
Of course! 2022 means it’s fine to drink before 22 minutes past eight this evening. Also, it says it’s perfect on the front.

Send it, my friend.
Godspeed!
I’ve drank out of date beer before, bunch of us had 2 or 3 cans of stuff that was 2 years past expiration.
Was like the vomit scene from team America, followed by 2 days of stomach cramps, for everyone, not just one person.
I wouldn’t touch it again.
Send it
I have bottles 2-3 years out of date and they taste just the same.
Horse it in to ya.
For science
The first couple of pints might taste a bit off. But then you will be two pints in and on that slippery slope of not really caring. The hangover the next day might be rough though. Good luck!
It’ll taste like piss.
And the ageing process won’t have helped that either.
Chugtastic
I mean its already gone off once, thats why its got alcohol in it. Cant go off twice, can it?
Pro brewer 10 years here…it’s fine. Anything harmful wont survive in beer so relax!
When I wouldn’t drink it is if theyve previously been hooked up then taken for again. Weigh them is the best way to know
I’ve known people drink a) a beer recovered from a 100 year old shipwreck and b) cider from the early 1900s discovered in a bottle dump. Both were fine 😀
Save it for your guests.
Not gonna drink itself
Send it
Barrel aged like a fine whisky, it can only have gotten better with time. I think it’ll taste wonderful and would recommend at least 6 pints for full flavour.
(Do this within falling distance of a hospital)
Expired? Extra fermented
Isn’t it best to call them ‘vintage’…?
I drank a few months out of date London Pride a long time ago and I did not feel well for at least 2 days afterwards.
1 ⭐, would not recommend.
Drink it you coward, might taste a bit yeasty
Couple of pints of that and you’ll be emitting anything but the perfect draft.
Don’t risk it. It will taste like stale piss. Oh! it’s Stella? – should be fine.
Give someone else your passwords so they can update us… 🫡
it cant have gotten worse
Lets be realistic, what’s the actual chances that expiry can somehow make Stella taste worse than it already does?
