I hope someone can give me some suggestions. I found a crate of lager beer that is out-dated by 3months, probably left over from a party. I don't know if I can make use of them. I'm not a beer drinker, so there's no point in tasting them since I would have no idea if they are good or bad. All beer tastes awful to me. Can I use it to make beer bread or to cook with, or can the beer be used for other things? Since I don't know if it's bad or not, would it be better, and safer, to just toss it out?

I use out of date beer in cooking. I use it as the liquid when making yeast bread and it gives it a hint of hops, people taste it a little but don't know what it is, they do when they toast it. I use it in marinades for all sorts of meat. It works well in beer cheese soup. It is wonderful in a batter for fried fish or just about anything battered and deep fried. I have used it to braise ribs.
All most all brands are pasteurized so there is nothing alive to grow. It will just loose some of the crisp taste as some of the compounds break down. I don't drink beer but I buy it by the case and use it to cook with all year.
