Wait, beer rots? Gonna look into this real quick. Sounds like something beer shouldn't do
Edit: Turns out ale was nearly nonalcoholic back then and was viewed the way protein shakes are now
@Shkshkshk @malin @rpg yeah wasn't it basically *just enough* alcohol to make it safer to drink than water?
Most beer nowadays contains some preservatives. Hops was the first natural preservative added to beer. With very few exceptions, beer is supposed to be drink fresh after a short “aging” period and starts deteriorating flavor in the bottle.
Unpasteurized beer spoils much faster. It might not rot super fast because the yeast can compete with other bugs to an extent, but it’ll sure start tasting progressively worse as time goes on.
