Darque Brew and Armstrong Ale

Post by bribri »

I was wondering how many people have the beer Valiant made?

I have one of the Darque Brews. My local comic book shot gave it to me because I was their biggest Valiant fan at the time (It is a very small town).

The thing is, I have it stored in the with original box it was shipped in, with bubble-wrap, but I've heard of things like soda and beer exploding if you leave them sealed too long. Now, it's been about ten years and nothing has happened yet, but should I open it and empty it?

I should just drink the damn thing.

I have both. They are still sealed. The only reason I can see opening them would be the beer may damage the cap if left sealed too long.

as a homebrewer I have never had any problems keeping bottles capped for as longa as I see fit, as long as the bottles are kept in a reasonably dark, cool place they should be fine...I've drank beer that I made as much as ten years ago with no problems..it's all in the storage
Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

That's awesome. Thanks for the advice.

Does anyone have any numbers on how many of each beer was produced?

Were they sold individually, or did they ever come out with a six pack? They should have made a party ball.

I have a darque brew - no box or card or anything (it was given to me when I was visiting there once, not as the Christmas gift).

They were sent to retailers one per store as a thank you.

They were also drank at the Valiant Christmas party.

I have one each of the brew and ale ... bought off eBay looooooooooong ago, in original boxes and whatnot from what I can tell. All sealed up nice and no problems here.
