Show 103: Whether and When to Age Beer

On episode 103, we take a look at a topic of some confusion: aging beer. A decade ago, everyone was doing it, and aged bottles were fetching hundreds of dollars online. Modern juicy IPAs have re-set our expectations about age, however, prompting a renewed focus on freshness. In this episode, we’ll look at the process of aging, what happens chemically inside the bottle, and which beers are suited for cellaring.
