Long Term Beer Storage SHELF LIFE

Letter Re: Long Term Beer Storage
Jim,
Great work on your “Rawles Gets You Ready” preparedness course! For folks wanting to keep beer in their long-term storage supply, the “blue” variety of Chimay (a dark ale made by Trappist monks in Belgium) will store nicely for upwards of 15 years. Even better, my local Costco (in Texas) sells the 750 ml bottles with corks. Regards, – MP

ANYBODY ever drink this..or keep it a long time

FROM ONE SITE speaking of a 2002 bottle in 2013
"
Borderline worthless. I've been fortunate enough to try an awful lot of aged Chimay, and 11 years is just way too much on it.
3-5 years is the sweet spot, and after that it is likely going downhill.
Even beers that age well don't last forever.

That said I'm sure somebody would trade for it just for the opportunity to try an age-able beer that old, but don't expect the world for it. IMO just drink it yourself and enjoy the experiment..."

Or brew your own and don't worry about it...

 

Agree with techsar on making own, a little hops and yeast put aside for beer, water, wheat or rice, etc all usable as food if not used for beer.

 

I love my Stag beer! Fresh it is skunky and when I find a 4 year old can in the barn it is still skunky! Great stuff!!!

 

If things do go totally up, 10 or so years down the line a few tobacco seeds and some good beer and wine as well as the ability to distill might be a really good thing to have to trade. Or at least it has been for the last 5,000 years or so and all over the world.

 

Well, there is beer, and then there is

 

I've tried several times to determine the shelf life of beer. Turns out it's about 3 days - less if you buy smaller quantities...

 

Yeah that's the best way to preserve beer.

 

As stated above,get a kit and brew your own. Stored ingredients would last longer than the beer itself.
