I went to Dallas for LSU v. TCU in 2012. Went to Total Wine and bought a bunch of German & Czech beers, some of which are not available locally.

Well, I still have a boatload of it left. Conservatively, over 100 bottles. I think the only thing I can't buy here (Baton Rouge) now is Czechvar (Budweiser Budvar) and Hacker-Pschorr.

Think any of it is still any good? I have some Spaten, Hofbrau, Trumer Pils, and a couple others.

What say the beer snobs? It's been stored inside and not subject to extreme heat or cold.

I assume you are talking lagers and pilsners. Those technically should be stored below 40 degrees. Sounds like yours are at room temp? They probably aren't as good as when fresh but safe to drink. Have you tried one? I would put them in the fridge.....or have a party. Now, if you are talking double bocks then those can age at room temp for a few years....although ideally you keep them at 55 or so.

I'd try them, but I'd also be prepared to pour them down the drain. Lagers like that typically age like crap.

All pilsners and lagers. Maybe a sixer or two of weissbier.

I don't imagine it will be pretty. Lots of $$$ down the toilet.
