Would 137 Year Old Beer be Drinkable?

December 12th 2006 07:09
Old Beer
The Age reports that beer brewed in 1867 has been discovered in Worthington's White Shield brewery in Burton-on-Trent. The surprising thing is beer experts say the 137 year old beer tastes "absolutely amazing".

Mark Dober who has tasted the beer said "It's amazing that beers this antique can still taste so delicious," he said. "Established wisdom would say beers this old should taste of vinegar, damp rags and Marmite. Instead, many show flavours of raisins and sultanas, baked apple and honey. The oldest — the 1869 Ratcliff Ale — is bright and luminous … and has a meaty character like smoked partridge with hints of molasses. It's amazing it tastes this good after 137 years."

Maybe we should all start cellaring our beer.

I don't think beer in our days could last so long , probably they had different making technology 100 years ago.

Pour me a pint!!!

These beers supposedly have a higher alcohol content which stops them going off. Plus they were stored on their sides to stop the cork from drying out.
