It would not be worth as much if you drink it, the experience of drinking it would be wretched. Theo SE beers were not made to last, heck I remember the old man drinking Meisterbrau, and it was cheap stuff back then (he liked cheap beer). Smart money sells sell it as a collectible.
That bottle is 30 or 40 years old? Last spring my son-in-law gave me a special Budweiser millennium gift set of
4 engraved pilsner glasses that included a special 40 oz. bottle of Budweiser. The set had been passed around in Christmas white elephant parties for 16 years. The glasses are great but I spit one mouthful of the beer all over the living room carpet. I guarantee that, if you drink that beer, you will be kneeling in front of the porcelain goddess in ten seconds.
Haha I’m not really going to open it. I think that it would ruin the mystique of the beer. I’m not able to fly it back home from CLE to DEN so most likely will be sold to a collector.
