No honest drinker could have possibly left such a stash behind.
I know drinkers that leave unconsumed adult beverages to friends and family in their wills!

They haven’t gotten to the point of moving the pile. Maybe he’s under there.

Were some of the bottles still full of beer or was it just beer residue.

Lead in glass makes it sparkle, I have some old lead crystal... beautiful stuff but I wouldn’t want to store alcohol in it for a hundred years - or even ten.

The moonshiners used old car radiators for a condenser, and the tiny bit of lead that leached in from soldered joints gave the booze a sweet taste. I'd be surprised to learn that it isn't an old technique.
