You can age anywhere from a few months to several years, especially depending on the beer. At a certain point it can get all oxidized-tasting, but that's usually a decade or plus down the road. You'll find people opening and drinking ten-year-old Bourbon County Brand Stouts or DFH 120s semi-regularly, and vintage Belgian sours (Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, etc.) can sell for ridiculous amounts of money.

The beer tends to be aged in its bottles/cans. I recommend BeerAdvocate as a great resource for more info than I know - https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/101/store/

One big thing to remember is never age IPAs - as they get older, the hop profile practically disappears and it just becomes a big malt bomb, usually pretty nasty because they're not brewed with aging in mind.

If you want to run a fun initial experiment, grab yourself something easily available, like a St. Bernardus 12 quadrupel ale and let it age in a dark closet in your basement for a year, then grab another off the shelf and compare the two. I have no idea the chemical processes that make aging work, but I know they're awesome.

Here's another source all about aging beer:

Much thanks to you and FaulkSF since I learned something new.(y)

Elysian the Immortal IPA --------------------- enjoying each one more than the previous one

Great Lakes Brewing Turntable Pils ===not enjoying more than the previous one

Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree IPA == Surprisingly enjoying this one. thought it would be too much for my juvenile, american beer taste buds. Even without the knowledge of some of our ROD beer connoisseurs, but after watching some tasters on youtube, i noticed some of the things they were talking about that they tasted. I do, however, notice without anyone's help, the 12% ABV this brew has. Definitely worth the $20 for the 4 pack. sadly, its only available one time per year.

Moosehead Lager and Great Lakes DORTMUNDER GOLD® LAGER & ELIOT NESS® AMBER LAGER were recently drained from the fridge as well.

got the Brazos Valley "Momma Tried" Citra IPA and "Willin'" Mosiac Pale Ale chilling - nice local brews

p.s. I have no clue what that other stuff there... or why it's taking up precious beer space

Sad lack of New England brews. Let me see what I can do about that.

I can't wait for my wife to get home so I can show her what a proper refrigerator looks like - we are building a guest house / studio and plan on getting some nice appliances - one soley dedicated to correctness

Yes - sorely lacking New England brews - but you need to try Austin's best attempt with the Pinthouse Electric Jellyfish

If this were a real Trillium beer, I'd totally send you some... but it's just a Photoshop :(

Does someone have trouble making up there mind, or do you have a lot of company coming over, that like different Beers!?

I have Bud in my Frig!!
No I just like trying different beers. My wife used to travel a lot overseas and would always bring me back a suitcase of different beers.....and neighbors going on vacation bring me back something local and I do the same. Most of my company likes the common stuff, frequently Natty......though it's been so hot lately I've used all the Nattys as slushies.
