OT: Old Beer RE. Had to Work today

RBnSC · May 13, 2009

Remember I told you I had to work Saturday.What i didn't tell you was as the workers were going through the building they found a cooler with about a case of beer so they brought it out to Me. I took two bottles and gave them the rest. I don't know how long the place had been closed but I don't know how how something with alcohol could go bad. I put them in the fridge and when I got home from work yesterday I tried one. YUUUCCK!!! man was that bad, tasted just like the inside of and old cooler.

Keep it cold and it seems to last forever.

Warm it up and cool it off a time or two and it goes bad in no time.

If it has been there a while it has gone thru many cooling and warming cycles.

Not that I am a beer expert or anything.

Years and years ago when I was a banker, one of the bank's loans was "secured" by inventory.

I was given the job of retrieving the inventory from the store that had been closed for about a month.

Drove over to the store in my 65 Chevy truck and put all the inventory in the truck bed.

Well by now you have probably guessed that the inventory was alcohol of all types.

Filled the bed with Muscatel, Boon's Farm, Night Train, Ripple, Thunderbird, Mad Dog, etc. - nothing but the good stuff right?

Suspension wasn't the best on the old truck and there were a few bumps in the road back to the bank.

About half the bottles broke in transit and the alcohol was draining through the cracks and holes in the truck bed.

Of course the truck and I smelled worse than the Cut & Shoot honky tonk.

One day if I can ever stop laughing long enough, I might write down all my banking stories or at least put them on audio tape.

Sometimes truth is funnier than fiction.

I was helping my cousin work on his truck out in his garage years ago. I was drinking a can of Coke. Without really paying attention I picked a Coke can up off the work bench to take a drink. It was a different can that he had been using as a spit cup for skoal. I was able to spit it out before I swallowed any, but that was nasty!

You obviously got the one someone peed in.

In my misspent youth had to borrow a car to use to get to work (way out on a well machine).
At work, putting stuff in the trunk, found two cans of beer under rags stuffed in a niche at the side of the trunk.
Chilled it, drank it, good beer.
When returning the car, replaced the beer; my buddy said it"d had to"ve been at least three years old, that he hadn"t had beer in the trunk since he"d been to college.
This was in southern N Mex, where it gets hot-hot.

Supposedly since most beer is pasteurized now it won't go skunky. Mine doesn't sit around long enough to go bad anyway! Like my dad, we never met a beer we didn't like. After church on Sunday, Dad would pull two bottles of Old Crown Ale wrapped in newspaper from under the front seat of the old Chevy and we drank it warm. I didn't prefer it that way but did enjoy being with my dad and didn't even notice the temperature. When he died we found two Old Crown bottle caps in his pocket. Apparently he had followed his morning ritual of going to his tool shed for his "morning medicine", THEN he was going to start his day as usual. He never made it. He was my hero and I miss him and our times together. Pat
