I just realized that I've had 4 beers in the back of the fridge. They've been there for almost exactly two years. Now the cans are still sealed and everything, but does it somehow go bad inside of the can after a period of time? Are they still good to drink or would they taste funny?

With the exception of a few fermented-in-bottle beers, most beer should be consumed right away. Thats not to say you cant store it for a month in the fridge or cold basement, but beer is not like wine. Drink it right away.

With that said, beer in a can will not go "bad" for a long time. Its taste might degrade, but it will not cause you any harm.

Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

You might as well drink them, I bet poison control is fun when you're drunk.

lol, antique beer? They're not anything special, It's 3 Molson Pilsners and a Molson Canadian.

Somehow I don't see the value of these going up any time soon.
