I continue with my kolsch and Hefeweizen b/c it's still hot AF. I did try a Ninkasi Oktoberfest recently. Pretty decent. Never pumpkin tho.

I have never tried aging beers myself. Should I stick them in the back of the fridge and forget about them or put them on a shelf in the closet?

I'm obviously no beer connoisseur, but what's the point of aging them?

Picked up a couple of '15 Pumpkinators at Colandro's today and also a pack of Evil Twin Soft DK. I have never tried aging beers myself. Should I stick them in the back of the fridge and forget about them or put them on a shelf in the closet?




Depends. Cold tends to slow the aging process, while room temp will allow the beer to age more appropriately. I think i read somewhere that the ideal aging temperature for beers is 55-60 degrees.

As long as its not in a hot spot of the house or in sunlight, just stick them in a pantry or closet and you're good.

Well the imperial stout is 10.5% alcohol and black as night. I'm sure it's already delicious but I'm hoping aging will help mellow it out.

The pumpkinator just seems like it should be. In theory I guess that aging it should make the pumpkin/spice flavors more complex.

eta: So where I put it doesn't matter much, just no light correct?
