Any issues aging canned beer?

Aluminum cans are lined, so the aluminum shouldn't be an issue.

Unfortunately, a lot of them are lined with BPA, the same chemical that has proven harmful in plastic water bottles.

 

I had a 3 year vertical of canned Ten Fidy a few years ago and seriously couldn't taste much of a difference between the three. I wouldn't avoid aging cans but don't think the beer develops the same way as it does in bottles. If anything, I store canned beers in the fridge if I have some that I wanted to preserve as close to the original flavor as possible before drinking.

Interesting to know about BPA. Thanks, sky.

 

Technically aging in a can is ideal in terms of oxidation and light penetration. That being said I don't know the chemical make up behind can lining as already mentioned.
