I've got an old guinness stubby too... also I had six-pack of magnum ale stubbies, and one night a buddy tried some... didn't kill him or anything, but it wasn't enjoyable... but we don't have a frame of reference for what that tasted like when it was fresh. I imagine their worth more for collecting than anything else.

Yeah, what would the drinkability on this 105 year-old beer be?
Purely a matter of conjecture. Some household cleaning products may be drinkable and I'm sure someone will try. "Hey, Fred, this 25 year old Walnut Oil Furniture Shine has some nice Madeira-like oxidation going on!"

Just a side note, just looked up the Labatt velvet cream porter and stumbled on this site - neat to see pictures/brands of these old stubbies.

I've been part of groups that have cracked open a couple of full cone top beer cans (approx 50 years old) and have lived to tell the tale. What came out wasn't really beer anymore, but it was an interesting experience. One word of warning though, decant carefully.

I had a 27-year-old Stille Nacht in Belgium this summer and it was still beautiful! Doubly impressive since it was in one of the rubber grommet swing-top style bottles...
