Does Beer expire?

I got some imports around this time last year. They had been in the fridge since and have yet to move from when I placed it there. I cant find any dates on the bottles. Safe to drink? I want to bring them out for New Year's Eve party tomorrow.

Update:

The reason it stayed this long in there is I dont like this particular beer. I'm a Dark Ale kind'a guy. But I want them gone from my fridge so I can have room for my own beer.

    Yes and I would say it is bad you could still drink it and it might taste ok but not exactly like it should. Beer generally only lasts for at longest 1 year from after it has been brewed

    Does it say "perfect with the aid of" or "drink with the aid of"? If it does not, it isn't the date it expires. i presumed the suitable comparable subject whilst i became introduced a case of beer and observed a date some months previous. yet then I found out it is the date it became "born," or the date it became made. i'm unsure why they placed this date instead of the date it expires, if it does expire, yet you ought to be good considering the fact that that beer is barely some months previous. get exhilaration from it!

  • Toss them away,

    Beer lasts 90 days in bottles. This is from when they are processed. What you have there is a few bottles of mold. Serve those at your party and you'll run out of friends before beer.

    Ask yourself, how long does bread last?

    Yes, especially if it is unpasteurized beer. Best bet to open a bottle or two and try them. Or just go to the store and get more!

    Serve them to your guests--if it's import they won't know the difference between expired and good----haha----but yes beer expires

    It certainly does but it may take a year or two. If you open a bottle and it has a skunk smell, it is definitely too old.

    yep beer goes bad if you leave it in the sun it will speed up the process

    i wouldn't say you should, it all depends on the quality of the beer, and beer does expire

    It is safe to drink, but it may not taste very good

    Yes, it will get old and distasteful but who's gonna have it around that long!
