Nasty Beer in Your Fridge!

First off, I maintain BeerTaster.ca. I spend most of my time working on the site, trying to get a hold of GOOD Beer, or drinking (for the purposes of adding reviews to BeerTaster, you understand) GOOD beer.
Well, I do have to go to a paying job most days. I haven't been able to find anyone who would pay me for drinking beer yet. Well, there was that lady who used to take her cloths off on stage and who said something about buying me a beer if I took her on a long trip to Belgium, but I digress.
Anyway, to get back to whatever my point was, we all have some lousy beer tucked away in the fridge. Don't deny it, somewhere in there is a Bud, Canadian, Blue, or Miller Light. Or something similar.
Why we do it is an individual question. We all have our own reasons (excuses), but we all do it.
Personally it is 950ml cans of Molson Canadian.
Now you must understand, these are part of my "survival supplies". I wouldn't drink them otherwise.
As part of my "survival supplies" I must ensure that they are maintained in prime condition. I live in southern Ontario and we had a hurricane here in 1954. It could happen again! Can't take chances.
This evening, at the beginning of a long weekend here, I sat back and enjoyed a Chimay Premier, then I decided to test some of my "survival supplies" for quality. It was just as I thought, they were bad, just as bad as the day they were canned. Now I was faced with a real dilemma. What to do with th rest of them?
I couldn't just throw them in the garbage. Landfill and all that stuff, you know, recycle and such. Besides, those cans are pressurized, someone might get hurt and then how would I feel?
I though about dumping them down the drain, but we are on a septic system. What about the poor endangered bacteria that live in our septic tank? I might never forgive myself if anything happened to them.
Maybe I could just dump them in the yard? We have weeds growing out there that nobody even recognizes. Some of them MUST be endangered species.
I found a solution.
Night all.
Nemsis.
Hope you didn't harm any of
Hope you didn't harm any of those endangered brain cells of your.
Damn. Knew I forgot
Damn.
Knew I forgot something!
So what's the solution?

Guess. Come on, you can do
Guess.
Come on, you can do it.
filtration system
I used a naturally occurring filtration system prior to disposal into the septic system.
Worked like a charm except that I really don't remember much about it.
Serving temperature
Drinking chilled beer is a social trend that began with the development of artificial refrigeration and by the 1870s, was spread in those countries that concentrated on brewing pale lager. Chilling below 15.5 °C/60 °F starts to reduce taste awarenes and reduces it significantly below 10 °C/50 °F; while this is acceptable for beers without an appreciable aroma or taste profile, beers brewed with more than basic refreshment in mind reveal their flavours more when served unchilled—either cool or at room temperature. Cask Marque, a non-profit UK beer organisation, has set a temperature standard range of 12°-14°C (53°-57°F) for cask ales to be served
