That would ruin all the beer barrels though, which would be an expensive mistake.
Kegs of beer are stainless steel, is vinegar strong enough to ruin that?

I thought that the whole point of Indian Pale Ale was that it would last longer, as in it would survive a sea voyage from England to India in the 1800s (6 months)
It would go unspoiled, which is a bit different of a thing than tasting it's best. Grain has quite a bit of lactic acid producing bacteria in it, on top of it's just being readily available in nature in general, so breweries naturally have a ton of it around. Most common lacto and pedio bacteria, the primary two type of LAB, is not very tolerant to hops. If you make a really hoppy beer, this naturally helps prevent t…
And, if you’re not a fan of extra-hoppy ipas, letting an ipa age will mute the hoppy flavor and could potentially make a more enjoyable beer.
My son in college (well in his apt with his gf, taking classes online) could easily take care of one before it expired. Hell, we could too. In Germany we had the “beer man” who would drop off beer weekly and collect the empties. This should be adopted in the USA.
We here in South Africa, we have actually banned the sale of alcohol and cigarettes while in lock-down for almost a month now.

It’s not so much the vinegar as it is the acetobacter bacteria that could quickly spoil the next beer to go into it. Brewers typically keep inoculated containers separate from non-inoculated containers to prevent unwanted souring or, in this case, vinegar.

On the other hand, I look forward to someday watching the South African version of NASCAR this will surely spawn.

I’ve heard some of the arguments against alcohol consumption during the pandemic, and I don’t buy it. Sure, it’s true that alcohol lowers your immune system and requires trips to stores.
