Title: V238

Hello
I was scanning our website & was looking for slant shelf vendors & saw the V-238. The must be the ultimate machine for the garage. You could load that with enough product/beer for a whole football season.
Has anyone ever seen one? It must be a brute!

This one? V-238
Yeah, that would be a good time.
Speaking of loading up for the whole season, how long does bottled beer stay fresh and drinkable?
I stocked my Cav64's slanted shelves with a lot of beer selections several months ago, but we just don't drink beer much and I am wondering when I need to dump them so a guest doesn't get a gross one. I checked all the brands' labels and couldn't find an "expiration date".

Long as they stay more or less at the same temp should be fine. Hard to kill a beer :-)

All depends on the brand and storage condtions. I've heard 6-9 months for best flavor. If you have it stored in a dark, cool area (vending machine) it should last a lot longer. This is why you should not store beer in a hot garage or in direct sunlight. Dark bottles are better and Coors delivers their beer in refigerated trucks so it doesn't get too hot. Typical "American" beer will loose their taste quicker than the darker/heavier beer and flavored beer (which sometimes you can get about two years out of).

Kito - if you have to chew it, it's time to rotate your stock....

Guys,
The color of the bottle makes a difference in the "shelf life." About 8 years ago I took an Adult-Ed class called "Beer Making 101" (I am not kidding). I made my own stuff for a while. The instructor said bottles were a dark brown for a reason. The light will change the taste of the beer. Clear bottles are the worst. The greens aren't bad, but the brown is the best. I guess that follows the logic of milk in cartons doesn't lose its nutrients as fast as milk in the clear plastic jugs.
That class was cool. Their were about 12 of us in there. Each week, we had samples at the end of class. One guy brought in some stuff he made which was absolutely the smoothest beer I have ever had. It was between 9 and 10% alcohol content, too. It actually made my throat warm on the way down.

Hello
When I lived in Germany back in the 80's we had the beer/soda man come to house every week or so. I would buy Heiniken beer 10 oz bottles by the case. This Heiniken came in brown bottles & was far better than the green bottle Heiniken we get here in the USA. I fact I hate to drink green bottle Heiniken due to the taste. I am sure this brand of Heiniken came straight from Holland.

I've seen a 238 in person once. It had been converted to cans. It was a monster. A cool looking machine though, the stylestar sign was about 2 feet long.
