How out of date? I've got a can with a best before date of 2014, I promise I'll drink that if the takeover happens.
(I should add I got given it as a joke a couple of years back and it's in the back of the cupboard. Normally I am NOT this lax with alcohol)
I've still got a shearers testimonial broon ale, and a shearers bar opening broon ale, I'd probably go blind if I touched them.
