Oldest to newest or lowest to highest?

Pin the tail on the donkey. Live dangerously.

 

Save the best for last is my motto!

 

Lowest to highest. Low ABV beers don't age as well so drink them now.

 

I presume that you are asking about drinking them over an extended time period, but if you have been saving them only since March then age will have minimal meaningful effect on your enjoyment of these beers. (Many beers stay on the store shelf that long.) However, oftentimes a west coast barleywine is said to be cellarable, but with the high amount of hops in that beer style, if you have any of those I suggest that you drink them first.

 

Mine is the opposite. Carpe diem.

 

Patience is sometimes a virtue. Ignore some, and enjoy some others.

 

The ABV of a beer does not always determine which beers age best. Cantillon and 3F age great and tend to be around 5%.

 

I'd say oldest to newest, but remember that "ageability" differs across beer types. High ABV English barleywines may cellar better than Imperial stouts of comparable ABV--in part, because oxidation is seen as a virtue in the former more than the latter. Bottle conditioning may also be in play, especially with Belgians.

A better rule, IMO: Least interesting to most interesting. In doing all of this, don't lose sight of the fact that beer is meant to be consumed.

 

Which Three Floyds beers at 5% age well?

 

3F = 3 Fonteinen
FFF = 3 Floyd's

 

Going oldest to newest might seem to make sense but you say it may be months before you get through them...what if the oldest beer you have is one that benefits from some resting time? Maybe a list of your beers or at least some of them would help us get a better picture...

 

It really is kind of meaningless to get our advice without us knowing the beers in question. Any simple rule (oldest to youngest, lowest ABV to highest ABV) is going to be oversimplistic and possibly not good advice depending on which beers we are discussin and what their ages are.
