I missed the reference. But I'm sure you wouldn't be as angry if he'd said 'those people'. I know I wouldn't. Those people rock.

I like to genocide shopkeepers in Nethack.

Also, lager.

Steve, don't eat it!

A website where a guy decided to eat really random things. One of them is a box of Urkel-Os from 1991!

Enjoy.

More on topic, I would recommend AGAINST eating a 10-year old box of Cracker-Jacks. Me and my bro tried it. We each took one bite and tossed it.

We thought they lasted forever… we were wrong… horribly wrong… horribly, horribly wrong…

You can if you do it old-school.
You know, kill them all manually.

I once ate a 5 year old energy bar.
It was chewy and had no flavour.

It was funny because that phrase is usually associated with racist comments which may or may not have been the case here I dont really know

Anyway we figured out that it's probably because of black marketing/cutting out taxes and middlemen that the wine would be cheaper...by "we" I mean I who knows nothing about economics and my friend who does but was hammered. QED.

It's a energy bar. It's chewy and flavorless to begin with.

meh. 2yearold beer can be drunk. It might taste a bit flat though. Pilsners are not meant to be kept that long. The hops may take on a metallic tang from oxidation.
A good way to determine drinkability: factory brew is filtered. Find any solid stuff floating in it, don't drink it anymore. Usually even doublebrewed beers from a factory are filtered, but if special brews have a sediment, this means nothing, it may even be intentional.
 
As for vinegar... I have just cooled a few of my own homebrewed sewerbrew...the last I tasted was pretty yeasty sour... it used to taste quite sweet and alcoholic as a dark beer, but I can't even remember when I made it so probably more than several years.
I've never had a beer go vinegar, that's wine, beer just goes flat and yeasty.
 
Hertog eh?
That places you either as a dutchman with good taste in beer or a pretty accomplished international beerdrinker.


edit: aw. The beers I cooled are a more recent brew. yum.

Some friends of mine stateside tried brewing some beer for the 4th, it turned out to be flat and sedimenty. We drank it anyway, to only mild displeasure.

If an island were to be placed between the two places where I have lived the most, and every year moves one foot closer to the continent that I live on, it would be about right smack dab between zuid-holland and texas. I got my parents stoked about the idea of travelling europe while i was still here in highschool, so i've beer toured most of europe from prague to paris... (not counting estonia and latvia... or sweden. or finland, actually. but most others.) And yet at the end of the day my baby is still Murphy's Irish Red. <3

Hmm. Red IS a smooth ale.  :-*
 
you probably did not have an airtight seal on your bottles, the CO2 escapes and the beer stays flat.
Adding a BIT* of glucose just before bottling gives a short period of fermentation under pressure.
The sediment is a bigger problem, you can keep most of it in the fermentor vessel by being very carefull, but unless you filter, there will always be some sediment in homebrew. Just decant very carefully and like with adamantium: don't try to get it all. :)

*With my first brew (sewerbrew) actually several bottles exploded as I added too much sugar to the bottles wanting a sweetish beer,
it was impossible to get the beer out in liquid form too... only foam came out.

heh. So you are an Atlantean? :)
