Did my beer go bad in my mini fridge?

0 Upvotes

I recently got myself a mini fridge due to certain circumstances and have since put a few packs of craft beer cans in there. All kinds of styles too. IPA’s, stouts, lagers etc. I've had it for a couple weeks now. I currently have the temperature set to 40° to accommodate all the different beer styles in the mini fridge. Most of the beers are still fine and fresh. However, there's definitely been a couple cans that have become a little squishy despite not being opened/messed with at all. Is this an indicator of a beer going bad? Just wanna know if this is a red flag as to whether or not it's still good to drink.

Going to treat myself with a mix a 6 pack tomorrow. What 6 beer styles should I get, assuming each is a different style?

Green, brown and yellow beer?

21 Upvotes

A coworker from Puerto Rico today was telling me there are three types of beer: brown, green and yellow.

He said Heineken is a green beer (I clarified if he was talking about the color of the bottle. He was not), he said green beers are refreshing like what you would drink on the beach.

He said corona is a yellow beer, so is El Presidente (a Dominican beer).

He said IPAs are considered brown beers, even though their color is light.

I did a brief google search and didn't find anything, so I'm turning to reddit. Any people who are from Puerto Rico or have spent time there that could tell me if this is a way beer is classified there? Or anyone at all have any idea what he's talking about? Since Spanish is his first language, we've had a little trouble with translating Spanish words to English and them not having the same connotations or meanings. I'm trying to figure out if he's confused or just making shit up

Edit:

I asked more questions today and he said the third type isn't brown, it's artisanal/craft (but later said the third type is 'black'.) he said it's not types exactly, and implied it's more of a vibe. Green beers are refreshing and cooling, yellow beers make you feel heavy and warm.

I'm going to assume he heard someone say a thing once and has turned it into facts in his head.

Bass

I know Bass fell out of favor and hasn’t been good in a very long time, but damnit I’m feeling nostalgic. It’s been discontinued in the US. I’m wondering if there’s any way for a beer like this to come back? Or is it dead forever? Obviously no one has a crystal ball but it seems like someone out there could shed some light into a situation like this.

Can’t remember a beer brand - Help!

Upvotes

I was in Toronto two years ago and my friend said he really liked this beer on tap. Unfortunately, I can’t remember what it is any more! I remember there’s some green on label or logo. And for some reason “schwick” is stuck in my head. I think it was an ale or an IPA.

Anyone have an idea?!

According to Sam Adams website, Porch Rocker is available March-August. The past couple of weekends I have walked into my local liquor store searching for the nectar of summer. Today , I finally prevailed when I saw a 6 pack of Summer Ale and a 12 pack of Porch Rocker bottles. Porch Rocker reminds me of the OLD recipe of Summer Shandy. Cheers! 🍻
