Do Beers Go Bad?
Yes, they do expire. Unlike hard drinks which can be stored for years, beer has a limited shelf life. There are many factors affecting the freshness of beers. Where you store it, the position of the bottle when you store it, temperature and other factors.
An indication if the beers is still fresh is the hisss sound you get when you open the bottle. Foaming also indicated freshness. You can also check the best before label to make sure.
I have tried drinking beer that is way past is best before date. It tastes bland. The bitterness is watered down. All the flavours seemed washed out.
I tried the Grolsh premium lager beer without checking the best before date. It has a nice green bottle with the cool cap.
After tasting it, I noticed that it doesn't live up to its "premium" tag. I though maybe it's premiumness will come after some more sips but unfortunately, its still lacks any kick. I checked the bottle and read the label. I found out that it's way past its best before date.
So that's how you know that the beer is bad. It's not necessary bad but its just not what it's supposed to be.
