How old is too old for an IPA?


That's a Damn good question. I generally stay away from IPAs that are older than 3 months. Some IPAs maintain their "happiness" longer than other. It won't hurt you to drink an old IPA, but the hop flavor fades over time and the beer takes on a malty flavor.

I try to drink it as fresh as possible. I am careful about where I buy my beer. Bottleshops usually do a better job of keeping fresh beer on the shelves than supermarkets and gas stations.

That's good to know. I might start aging some IPAs to see if the pine and old lady perfume taste goes away.


I bought some Nooner yesterday. As much as I like Fall, I get sad knowing the Pils will be disappearing.
