What beer is the best beer to age?!
Answers:
Like Alesmith said, usually beers with higher alcohol content will have a better chance of aging well!. also, beers that are bottle conditioned still contain live yeast and will continue to change (whether for better or for worse!) Many Strong Belgian Ales, tripels, quadrupels will age well, too!. Some bottles will say they age well right on the label (Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA or North Coast Old Stock, for example)!. With everything else, it's fun to put some bottles away and forget about them!. Then, try them in a year or so and hope they've matured and they don't taste like wet cardboard!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The rule of thumb is that high alcohol and highly hopped beers have the best shelf lives so they are the most well suited to age!. With that said though there's a whole lot of trial and error with beer aging!. In my experience Old Ales, Barleywines, and Imperial Stouts age the most gracefully but it's purely case by case!. I've seen barleywines age amazingly and others turn to utter crap!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
beer is generally aged before it is released for bottling, so I am not sure it is very good to age beer at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
