The remnants of that case of beer that's been sitting in the garage for "oh, it can't be that long, can it?" have gone to enrich the compost.

I had thought, seeing as it was such a lovely day, that I might have a beer. It's been a while since I've had one.

Okay, the best part of a year... Smiley LOL

I dragged the box out from under the bench, dusted it off and to my surprise found two six packs. Well, no worries, that should see me through the Summer just nicely. Or so I thought...

Beer, it seems, doesn't keep, or maybe this is a special brew know for it's characteristic overpowering stench of sulphur, as it ages...

I'm sure in time to come the garden will love me for it. Smiley LOL

 

It's a timely reminder to check the use-by date, especially on things that have lain forgotten over the Winter. Smiley Happy

Yep, beer has sugar, hops n barley. Even bottled water can go bad if there is enough air in the bottle.

Only one thing within the food group that doesn't turn.

 

Anyone guess it?

I once kept a pasty I bought (in its sealed plastic bag) for a very long time, many, many months, at least half a year or more and when I eventually threw it away it still looked just the same as the day I bought it. Not a spot of mold.

Wow, Looked the same as the day it was bought? Wonder about the taste, lol.

 

Honey is correct. 

 

Maybe not, amber. Isn't a Darwin stubbie massive?
