About beer (and bear, apparently):

The lagers are a bit tricky; they can become spoiled after the expiry date, although 'white beers' like Hoegaarden usually will not make you sick as a dog, they will only lose their taste, or have a mild alteration in taste.
Or start to look a little 'fluffy', which is good for the bowel movement, anyway

The stronger beers (which is, let's say, everything of at about 6% alcohol and above) can indeed become better of taste over the years, as Zeno pointed out. I have a nice bottle of 'Bok Chouffe' (from the Belgian L'Achouffe Brewery) 2000 still ripening in the cupboard somewhere. Also, corked beers (for lack of the English term) are less subject to becoming spoiled as beers with an iron cork.

I wonder where you got all that useless knowledge from, IZ? Self-study?

Field-work mostly, yes
It all started when, as a counterpart of my girlfriend's girls-club (not a Type O Negative song) 'de Bende van 't Vlinderke', the guys founded the highly anticipated 'Bende van 't Vuistje'.
The girls went to IKEA and came together at Upperdare-parties or just somewhere to watch snotter-movies.
The boys came together to have some whiskey-tasting or beer-tasting nights and to watch splatter-movies.

And always remember that I live in the country where the best beers are brewed. And the most, too, I think.
