Beer is not meant to age well.

Must have been really rank if they felt they had to rebury them.

Does English beer improve with age? I ask because Lone Star is best fresh, and German beer is always good, but the English beer I've had was a bit.....um.....blah.....(No offense intended to those of the English persuasion)

Mmmmmm, Beeeeerrrr !!!

I have to agree with the above poster, beer does not age well. It's best when fresh. Now if it had been wine that was buried.. mmmmmm now that would have been something to find as long as it hadn't gotten hot.

Drats.
Too bad it didn't age well.
But it is an interesting find.
Wonder what else they managed to find besides the bottles?

HAHHAHAHAHa...for soccer hooligans it wouldn't matter...they's still drink it.
To: in hoc signo vinces
Heck, I've been known to drink some horrible gunk.
I'm still trying to figur eout WHY they reburied the rest of the bottles when they're going to be constructing things on that site soon.

They should have a look in my fridge.

Too bad it wasn't wine. Beer gets skunky after about 3 months or so
To: Age of Reason
I've had a bottle of Coors in a fridge for the past 4 years and 11 months (long story).

That is not true. I brewed for years, and my beer continued to improve with age like a fine wine. Brewing beer to a high gravity (i.e., strong) makes the beer "able to look after itself". Some beers (for example, Gale's Old Ale or Thomas Hardy's Ale) shouldn't be drunk until they've spent at least 25 years in the bottle.

Beer gets "skunky" because of exposure to ultraviolet light; it has nothing to do with age. Properly brewed strong beer is good in the bottle for decades, as long as the bottler was sanitary.

Why are comparing Lone Star to beer?
