How long does it take for a keg to go bad?

[rubecube]

I've had my keg tapped since Saturday and I'm just wondering if it's still safe to drink out of? What's the lifespan for these things?

[Resolute 14]

Kegs last long enough at your place to go bad?

[ken0042]

Kegs never go bad.

Should be fine. Beer's taste doesn't change as long as you don't expose it to light.

The alcohol in the beer keeps it sterile.

Yeah, didn't have enough people show up to the party. I had a whole lot of people say they were coming and then decided not to come after I had already bought the keg. It was lame.

Didn't you go to the summit and have to work the next day?

Yes and yes but that didn't stop me from downing a few... I could've gone to your party anyways! Ah well, next time.

Heh, you were even invited.

There will be others. Plus, then I can have a fellow telco person to bitch about my job with.

I'll take your word for it. Not sure how this relates but I got a good chuckle anyways.

[J pold]

Wow I didn't think that was possible....

The only way a Keg goes bad is if it isn't consumed

[blayn]

it ain't gonna taste great but it'll get the job done if youre looking to get drunk

[Maritime Q-Scout]

never really had a keg last over 24 hours

in all honesty I thought it was 24 hours, but maybe that's a college myth to get people drinking even more?

Went home tonight and it was pretty flat and skunky. Good news is there was very little left, so I didn't feel like I had wasted that much.

[WestEndFlamesFan]

OMG!

Hopefully it's not too late, you'll need quick corrective action before this goes horribly wrong.

Here's what I suggest: put the keg against the wall, place the spout in your mouth, do a handstand against the wall on the keg, turn nozel with tongue, push yourself up and down and use your forehead to engage the pump.

One-man keg-stand the rest, soldier. Hurry, there's not much time left and the ridicule will be swift and punishing if that beer goes bad.

Extra points if its OV or Winchester.

EDIT:

NOOOoooOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........!

I tried to warn you. 3 words:

Man.
Up.
Wuss.

[rubecube]

I didn't dump it all out. I've got a friend whose specialty is this kind of clean up.
