Brewers spend a lot of time testing they're products against heat and time. Odds are they're fine. Wash of the bottles, chill them up and crack one open. If it tastes good to you, then keep 'em.

It sounds like you had a cooler full of beer, cold.
Then you let it go for two weeks.
It's obviously not cold anymore.
Now you want to know if the beer is still good, right?
That's alcohol abuse.
It's not going to hurt you to drink it, but it may have become 'skunked'.
If the beer was lighter beer, or pale american lager (like Bud), then it just doesn't have a lot of durability...especially if it went from very cold to very hot (if the cooler was left in the sun for 2 weeks). If the cooler was in your basement, and the beer was a strong ale, then I'd say maybe it has a better chance of survival.
Beer does best when there aren't a lot of extreme temp changes.
The lighter and low the alcohol content, the less stable it is.
Chill it and try it.
If it's really skunked bad, then it will be obvious...but it's possible that it just has a skunky aroma when you open it, but is totally drinkable when you taste it (Busch is that way even when it's fresh).
Either way, it's not going to kill you.

i do not drink beer, yet i have heard it supposedly options up the tin style from the can after awhile, exceedingly in case you drink it excellent from the can. yet in case you purchase the beer in cans and then drink it interior a short era of time or drink it out of a cup particularly, it will be nice and could no longer have time to %. up the "tin style". you mustn't let beer sit down longer than 2 months besides, so as long as you drink it with out postpone, it shouldn't count number. you would possibly want to attempt it besides the undeniable fact that and observe if it is only a rumor. purchase a case or 6-%. of beer in bottles and six-%. of a similar sort in cans. Then pour both into cups, close/conceal your eyes and characteristic someone swap the cups round so that you do not comprehend it is which, then style-attempt both one among them. See if it quite tastes all that a lot different. If it would not, then you fairly will experience more desirable about paying for imported canned beer, if it does style worse, then don't worry about purchase imported beers and keep on with the bottles you usually purchase.
