Just been given a crate of Guinness but it is 4 months out of date, started drinking it today and it doesn't taste too bad just a bit of a fizzy taste!

Will it be ok?

Out of date booze is fine.

It should be fine there has been a big thing on the telly about dates on products that are still fresh you will get the trots on G. anyway it is a very fine drink i stick with Strongbow Cider the two do not mix i did buy a bottle of Irish Meadow not long ago i was ill for a few days but that has cream in it never buy the dodgy top shelf. Enjoy your grog and stay in

Cheers!

I eat out of date food all the time (i have to because no one else will and i hate seeing stuff wasted!) and have never had any problems (yet)

Well If you do start to go blind, let us know!!

I'm usually not too fussy on sell by/use by dates, its not an exact science and a few days either way shouldn't hurt. However 4 months is a bit longer than I'd like!!

Do the cans show any signs of blowing out?

(This means that the bacteria inside is multiplying and as its a sealed can theres nowhere for them to go, hence the can deforms.)

[davidv]

With cans Tins etc.. Check the build the old type last longer eg. Princes red salmon and Corned Beef good builds Always look at the can first with drink and wash the top of the can

[captainjack15]

Get your wife to let us know!!

[R1minimagic]

The cans look absolutely fine, only bought them last crimbo and have been in garage the whole time.

The wife won't touch them, she is quite fussy on stuff like that, so i usually leave stuff i want to eat to go out of date deliberately so i get it all to myself
