It will probably be undrinkable but you might as well try it

Obvious procedure:
1) Sniff test
2) Tiny sip
3) ????

If it smells fine, taste it. It might taste pretty bad but I don't think it will be bad for you. Maybe drink a bit and see if you die or not

Sounds awful, but do you get to keep the keg and tap?

That probably will have been sealed the whole time and should be fine

you won't die, its just gonna taste a bit off and maybe not be as carbonated but I'm no beer expert so...yeah.
I'd still try it.

definitely keep it out back for when it gets slow in the shop, but its most likely gone stale. not bad for your health, but bad for your taste buds

people let wine sit for sometimes up to 50 years. i think it will be fine. maybe a bit more alcoholic, but not deadly.

beers from big breweries have a shelf life of about 8 to 12 months if refrigerated and about 4 to 6 months if kept at room temperature.... i think.
But beer only really expires when you drink it so crack it open man and pour a little out for the griz so we can change this rain to snow..

beer, wine and liquors all work off of different fermentation processes. im not sure the exact chemistry behind it all, but know that beers only get worse with age, especially if not refrigerated. the younger it is when you drink it the better it will taste.

as if heini wasn't skunky enough as it is....2 year old heini is going to be fucking skunked to all hell and taste like absolute dog shit. you can probably still drink it though without any worries as long as it has been sealed.

Its only gonna have a higher alcohol percentage and taste even better. You got yourself a mighty fine Tuesday night on your hands.





Serious side-

1)Drain the beer and go to a beer store and return the keg
2)profit
3)buy beers
4)Drink said beers
5)?????????
6) DOUBLE PROFIT ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE THREAD!!!

2 years of temperature fluctuations will skunk any beer, let alone after 2 YEARS. The beer is shit now.

Beer is like food so if it isnt bottle/keg conditioned (sort of like wine) it will go bad. I think hein has a shelf live of like 3 months. you may get a little sick but i dont think you'll die. I wouldn't recommend it haha
