  I agree… I have an unopened bottle of beer from 1975, just by looking at it I can tell that its “better with age” window is long gone. (Note the sediment buildup at the bottom) Image

    I used to be into some crazy beer communities and every few months they would do a tasting and tons would come and offer up the craziest stuff they have. One guy really specialized in collecting old beers and I have a bunch over time. The oldest I can remember came from somewhere between 1900-1910. It was awful, but we still appreciated being able to try such a relic.

    Now imagine it’s so old that the yeast has turned into liquid hydrocarbons!

  True, 49 million years is perfect but that’s where I draw the line

  What actually is that, in other words than scotch North Sea oil? I looked it up, but there was too much noise about mining. Unless that is petroleum?

    It is, in fact, petroleum.

      Love the touch that it was bottled in Aberdeen too. That’s a sign of true North Sea oil.
