Drink beer fresh! Or not? Of course, beers like IPAs demand they be drunk fresh, lest you want to drink a shoebox but some Belgian styles, sours as well as high ABV stouts and barleywines can be aged for years, creating new flavors and unlocking their true potential.
Our guests, author of Vintage Beers Patrick Dawson, Brickstore Pub owner Neil Callaghan and Mike Foniok of The Establishing Brewing Company talk about do’s and don’ts when it comes to laying down some choice brews to hold for special occasions or anytime.
