| Ive had a lonely Red Stripe sitting in my fridge for months upon months, Is it still good? Im the picky kind of person who will not eat something if it has set in my fridge for more then a week. So this is a big deal for me to drink this. |
I'd open it, sip it and if it tasted ok, I'd drink it. Yeah, I live life on the edge. Thats how I roll.... |
you know, thats twice tonite i've been told that... hmmm |
In the 70's I spent a summer working in Jamaica and Red Stripe was all that I could get. After leaving I vowed never to drink another one. It's just one man's opinion, but I don't think you could do anything to it that would make it taste any worse than it does normally. |

That Red Stripe was *never* good... If beer is suitably hopped, kept cool and out of light in a brown glass bottle with the pry off top, and is a live beer (homebrew or Trappist Ale), it will stay good for quite a long time. I had a barleywine that I made that I kept in the fermenter to mellow for 3 months, and then another year in bottles.. |
Yea, but most of what we buy commercially should be consumed as quickly as possible. Light and oxidation turn it to crap. Brown bottles do better with light than green. Green better than clear. I'd cook with the Red Stripe. Maybe fry up some brats in it. |
I have Chimay Grand Reserve that is 3 years old now. It's like angels crying on your tongue... OP, high alcohol, bottle conditioned beers can last for years and years if kept cool and dark. That mass produced swill like Red Stripe, it's pretty much gone bad as soon as they make it...
