    Should be fine I'd say, Mightn't taste the best, I had about 4 cans of 2 year old heino a while back, didn't taste the best but no ill effects :)

    Yeah it's safe but it will definitely taste even more crap than regular Heino.

    Import Heino is actually quite nice, the Cork version isn't that great though imo

    the Heineken they make in Ladyswell in Cork is weaker at 4.3% vol. for tax purposes. If they brewed it at the standard 5% they would be paying more to Revenue.

    They also make Irish-strength a Heineken at the plants in the Netherlands for canning and and bottling.
