vintage john smiths anyone?

Hook it up to a tap and offer it to your regulars as beer for slug traps. The little buggers are getting going now so it's a good time to blitz them. You could ask for 10p in the charity box for each 2 litre bottle filled.

This is a stupid question I know but as I have little experience I'm genuinely interested: would the beer be drinkable?

Gareth.

It wasn't drinkable when it was delivered from the depot :-)

John Smiths Smooth is a keg beer and as such is pasteurised, filtered and has sterile gas injected. It's like a pasteurised bottled beer, pretty much inert. It'll never go off in the sense of growing mould and shouldn't hurt you, but the taste will deteriorate. I would expect it to taste pretty grim but be drinkable if you're really, really desperate. Not saleable though.

In the old days the landlord would have just tipped it into the mild cask of course, along with the drip trays and half drunk pints of Guinness :-)

Gareth a écrit :

If you're into wet cardboard, certainly.

:-) It wasn't when it went in to the keg, were you hoping age might have improved it?

Under what circumstances would keg John Smiths be drinkable?

Possibly when it had been passed through someone's kidneys.

I'm not sure I'd want a watersports session with a JS Extra Smooth drinker, tbh.
