Will Bottled Beer go flat if it is layed on its side?!


Question: Will Bottled Beer go flat if it is layed on its side!?
Someone took my upright beers in the frigerator and layed them sideways to create more room in there!. I realized this a couple of days later and seen that one bottle was flat once I popped it open!. Is there any way of rescuing unopened beer bottles!. I have them standing again but feel its too late!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bottled Beer
Maintain Proper Inventory Levels!. Some establishments carry almost every beer available as part of their concept!. The fact that much of the inventory will turn over slowly is expected and acceptable!. Unless your operation falls into that category, review your purchase records and drop product that doesn't turn over in 30 days or less, or sells more slowly than the other labels!. The long-term solution may not be to replace the product with another brand; the answer may be to stock fewer labels!.

Store Bottles Upright!. Store beer upright in a dry, clean, dark place never exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent light (which could cause a reaction that will negatively affect the beer's taste and aroma)!. With a top-loading cooler, it is tempting to lay bottled beer on its side to efficiently utilize space!. When bottles are stored horizontally, the metal cap will adversely affect the beer's taste and character!. Keeping bottles in six-packs protects the bottles and makes rotating stock easier!. also keep beer as still as possible (excessive movement can cause taste and aroma to deteriorate), and rotate inventory so oldest products are used first (the First In, First Out system)!.

Maintain Proper Temperatures!. Ideal storage temperatures range from 40? to 60°F!. Don't quick-chill beer in a freezer (0?-5°F); a sudden drop in temperature will adversely affect its taste!. Never let beer freeze!. Lengthy exposures to temperatures of 28°F or colder will cause solids and liquid to separate!. If it is only slightly frozen, gradual thawing in a refrigerator may bring it back to its natural state!. But if the beer is cloudy or has sediment in it, don't sell it!

Pay Attention to the Seal and Lip!. Discard beer if the bottle's seal has leaked and it is no longer airtight!. Evidence of this might be a larger than normal air space in the bottle; cloudiness; or the presence of sediment (which is okay with wheat-sedimented beer)!. Consider buying wall-mounted openers, and caution staff to open bottles without chipping the lip!. Once chipped, discard the bottle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Beer stored on its side does expose more of the liquid to air than it would if you were to store it upright (when aging craft beer, for example, it should always be stored upright)!. Stored on its side for an extended period of time, the beer could oxidize, but I don't see it being a problem after a couple of days!. Try the others, if they're all bad, then you know!.!.!. Maybe you had crappy beer to begin with and you didn't even realize it because you were already drinking!?!? :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm thinking you got a bad batch too!. I've layed beer on its side in the fridge for weeks at a time, and have never had this issue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should keep them on their side if someone takes only the upright ones!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

nah!.!.!. i put bottled beer on its side all the time!.!.!. especially if i got an 18 pack!.!.!. it goes right in the veggie drawer!.!.!. you got a bad bottle thereWww@FoodAQ@Com

That sounds unlikely, I do it all of the time, and have never had beer go flat on me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
