Drinkable if you still like Fat Tire
If your garage is really hot that might not be good and it may take a while for carbonation to re-equilibrate. I'd cool it and see how it is - probably fine.

Thanks, my thoughts too but wanted a second opinion.

It'll be fine. MIght take a couple of days to get cold and the carbonation right, but I wouldn't hesitate to drain said keg.

Hopefully CO2; if air, that keg might be doomed.

We're on a brewing site so it's probably a stupid question but I just remember having commercial kegs for a Friday night party (air displacement)... on Saturday it wasn't quite as good and if there was any left on Sunday it was just about undrinkable. If CO2... my guess is it will be just fine once cold.
Agreed on all points. If CO2 was used to push the beer, then BeersBeers24/7 need only get the keg cold, check that the carbonation is ok to his taste, and drink.
If air was used to push the beer, I think the keg might need to be dumped.

if there is air in the keg it's going to be bad. no doubt about it.

I'll just guess that it won't taste that great after one week on air in a hot garage. CO2 would be better but air after 2-3 days is usually rendering the beer undrinkable. Try it and report back... maybe New Belgium added magic beans to the keg or something.Air

Skunky wouldn't happen unless the keg was clear glass. Oxidation is gonna give it a cardboard, stale flavor. Maybe the biscuit in there will cover it up. lol
