[QUOTE="free_byrd15, post: 39975, member: 408"] There are a few factors in a beers shelf life. Alcohol content, how it was filtered/conditioned, and storage temps. High alcohol beers, such as doubles, triples, quads, barley wines, russian imperial stouts, etc can age for years. These beers are almost always bottle conditioned, which means the yeast is left in the bottle and it continues to ferment and age. If you are going to age beer though, you must store it upright, and in a cool, dark place, preferably right around 50 degrees. I've had some double bocks that were a few years old that were outstanding. right now, i'm aging a case of a russian imperial stout. I've also got some belgium triples, and a few double IPA's that are doing quite well. Bottom line when aging, try the beer every 4 months or so, and when you find a spot that it just divine, drink up, because you don't want to overage it and end up not liking it! [/QUOTE]
