re: Aging Beer

I do not see the point in aging. Maybe hold onto a porter/stout for a month or two just because, but it is not going to make that beer that much better. The way I see it, booze is made to be consumed. Otherwise, wouldn't it already be aged?

I really do feel like some beers get better with age. Not all styles, not even most styles, but some of them do.

As to the last point, it would be a lot more expensive for the breweries to age it for you, especially once it's bottled. Obviously they do all the barrel aging for you.
