Beer gets "skunky" because of exposure to ultraviolet light...

I discovered this fact during a camping trip when we put the bottles into a mountain stream to cool. It all turned skunky, but we drank it anyway.

Put the bottle down and slowly back away.

"Drats.
Too bad it didn't age well.

But it is an interesting find.
Wonder what else they managed to find besides the bottles?"

Hopefully no female mummies, Bubba would be flying in tonight.

LOL!
Thanks for small miracles, otherwise that would be true if they had found female mummies.
I could see the drooling one doing such.

Good to know about this. We keep ours in the old Mormon built cool house in the side of the irrigation ditch bank.:
