The Old Rasputin vertical vs. horizontal aging experiment
from Chad'z Beer Podcast Hosted by No Frills Podcast Network
Have you ever heard it's better to cellar beer vertically rather than horizontally (like wine)? The theory behind is that a bottle stored upright has less surface area exposed to oxygen whereas a bottle laid down on its side increases that area massively and will oxidize quicker and more prominently. I decided to put this theory to the test and conducted an experiment that took me TWO YEARS to complete. I bought two 8-packs of Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from North Coast brewing and laid one down horizontally. I tasted them at 3 months, 6 months, a year and two years to see if there was a noticeable difference. Was there? Watch and find out!
