spent the day in the shed putting some bikes to bed for the winter, then as i moved the last one out, I found a few bottles of beer from last year (I think) they went out of date in september, and they taste a bit funny, but are still drinkable. Is there anything going to go wrong?

My first experience of Guinness was a couple of bottles that turned out to be a year out of date. Spent the next two days on the porcelain throne.

Beer can go out of date??

I've had stuff that had to be stored for 10 years before it was considered at its best! Don't they use alcohol for preserving stuff?

Beer isn't predominantly alcohol though is it, as opposed to say whisky?

More hops, sugar etc to go mouldy

I think cans are ok. The are going to be completely airtight. These were bottles.
