What can I do with unwanted beer??

Ok first world problems but we have LOADS of beers left after a recent party and none of us drink beer. What can I do with it? I put a message on my streets WhatsApp group but nobody wanted it. I don't think foodbanks take alcohol do they? I don't want to put it on one of those free cycle type sites because I'm worried a bunch of teenagers will probably want it and I don't want the aggravation of trying to work out if they're old enough or argue if they're not. Feels bad to bin it though. Any ideas?

Yeah we should have asked guests to take some home. Well we did but I think people feel rude going home from a party with alcohol so not much got taken. It's not full crates. More like 4 from this one and 3 from another etc. Quite a few are from bags that people brought and then ended up drinking wine instead. My dad likes a beer so I've been thinking about offering to him but he drinks quite a bit, probably more than is healthy so I'm not sure I want to encourage him to drink more really.
Maybe we could get the kids to take it for harvest festival 😂

Offer it on olio? I got rid of loads of random cans on there, the woman who collected was really happy with them.

Do you have a nearby bus stop? We have one outside our house and if ever we want to get rid of something that's got life in it, we stick it at the bus stop saying "free, please take". I've got rid of a buggy, canvas art I didn't want, a dolls house, bags of cement, a scooter... amongst all kind of other stuff. Always works!

@YokoOnosBigHat you would leave crates of alcohol on the street? For passing school kids to pick up? Really irresponsible.
