This can is older than a lot of pub goers.

JOE reader Eoin Coonan has been in touch with a few pictures of one seriously old car of lager that has remained unopened since, wait for it… can2 May 1989? Wow... That means the can will have expired exactly 26-years ago next Thursday. However, seeing as the 'best before' date on the can in question is dated May '89, the beer itself may have been canned back in ’88. We'll need an expert brewer's knowledge for that one... can3 The retro can in question was found on a shelf in The Green Bar in Borrisokane in Tipperary. Do you know of any older beer cans that remain unopened? Send them our way so we can find the oldest unopened can in Ireland… can1 Hat-tip to Eoin Coonan for sending this our way on Facebook...
