You can get quite ill from bad beer. Don't think i'd risk it, but, try a couple of pints and report back.  Protect the NHS!  | | | |

Our sense of smell and taste have evolved so that we generally detect things which are bad for us. Worth pouring a glass and having a smell / checking what it looks like / having a small sip before hoying it in my opinion. Cheers ! |  | | |

Most commercial beer is "dead", i.e. it doesn't continue fermenting. As long as it hasn't been opened/the beer itself exposed to light (can breed bacteria) or air (makes it sour), likely to be ok.
Avoid if cloudy, tastes funny or is unusually fizzy. |  |

Worth waiting until after Xmas just in case so not to risk spoiling tomorrow's appetite?
Or for a time you have constipation. |  |

It should be absolutely fine, and you'd know if it weren't. Enjoy! | | | |

Also depends on how you have kept it. If it has been kept in a cold environment, sub 10 degrees you should have an okay product.
If it is pasteurised then you have even less to worry about. So many variables but as someone said here Sight and smell will alert you to most issues and if it tastes sour then you know to put it down. | | | |

it will be fine if its not been tapped, its lager 5.2% so I dont think they chuck yeast in those lager minikegs for secondary fermentation anyway, which means worst problem is it will probably just go flat very quickly, as the added CO2 to give it some bubbles and life, will be very tired by now. | | | |
