    I agree… I have an unopened bottle of beer from 1975, just by looking at it I can tell that its “better with age” window is long gone. (Note the sediment buildup at the bottom)

      I used to be into some crazy beer communities and every few months they would do a tasting and tons would come and offer up the craziest stuff they have. One guy really specialized in collecting old beers and I have a bunch over time. The oldest I can remember came from somewhere between 1900-1910. It was awful, but we still appreciated being able to try such a relic.

      Now imagine it’s so old that the yeast has turned into liquid hydrocarbons!

          Having seen the movie Three Kings, I wouldn’t recommend finding out.

              It’s a really good movie about the bullshit that happened during the time the U.S. was in Iraq in the 90s mixed with a good heist story.

                I hope they extensively portrait how brave, humble (but manly man way), and aid giving soldiers bring freedom to these poor countries. Or is it communist?

                  It’s a pretty honest portrayal of how badly America fucked things up. That’s why George Clooney is in it.

                  I don’t think you’ll find it especially big on ass-kissing Americans and American policy considering John Ridley, who wrote it, also wrote 12 Years a Slave.

    What actually is that, in other words than scotch North Sea oil? I looked it up, but there was too much noise about mining. Unless that is petroleum?
