Beer vs heat.

heat is never good for any style of beer especially if you work an 8-10 hour shift, Can you buy the brew after work summer in Texas is brutal and will not be kind to brew

 

Enough for it not to be worth it potentially.

 

Just keep a little cooler in the truck to keep them in.

 

OK then buy a cooler and 2 bags of ice store your brews in that for the day especially if you are paying $$

 

I think it depends on what styles of beer you bought. Some, it won't hurt a bit if they are higher alcohol brews, but others...well..test it. Buy some brews you normally like, let them sit in the truck for your shift, then take them home and drink them and report back with your results. It's the only way you will find out for sure.

 

Heat and light are two of beer's biggest enemies. Buy a little cooler and some ice, and your beer will be protected from both.

 

I was thinking the same thing, that's what I do. I actually went out and bought a cooler that fits perfectly in the trunk for summer business trips. For any winter business trips I end up hauling it in to the hotel so it doesn't freeze. It's a pain in the butt and well worth the effort so my investments don't freeze or be exposed to sun and heat.

 

Eh, I don't think a few hours of heat will drastically affect a beer. At least I've not seen it from beers I've had to keep in my trunk. Now if you left them out there for days at that temperature, it would be a different matter.

 

Can you store them somewhere in your office/work instead of leaving them outside in the blazing/hot sun??!? Then just take them home when you leave work.

 

The only thing I would be worried about is pressure. I have seen wine bottles pop their cork through the foil top and gush all over a car before.

 

Yeah, if I have to leave beer in the car for any extended period of time it goes in a cooler with some reusable ice packs.

 

depending on where you work, just stick them in a desk drawer or in a locker. If you're worried about people not wanting you to bring beer into work, then stick them in a paper bag or something

 

Hopefully no one here saying 8-10 hours of heat exposure damages their beer to the point where it might "not be worth it" trades during hot months, since the beer is exposed to far more than 8-10 hours of heat in transit.

 

how hot will it get inside a truck in the Texas sun? with the windows rolled up, 120?
how hot will it get inside the UPS store, UPS transit building, UPS jet and UPS delivery truck? 80? more likely 72 except for the last hour in a truck with the doors open, and even then not too hot really.

big difference here.

 

You've never known anyone who works in a UPS sorting facility then. It's basically the temperature it is outside in there. If it's 95 degrees outside, it's 95 degrees at the loading/unloading facility. Same goes for the truck, I know my trucks leave for delivery at about 9 AM and don't make it to my door any sooner than 4 PM, and the back of the truck with all the parcels isn't air conditioned.

 

It's still hot to be sure, but in a vehicle (assuming the windows are up) you get the nice greenhouse effect. And drivers here roll around with both side doors open so at least there is some airflow.

In a car you are basically baking the beer.

 

Well, BronBron will probably choke in the 4th quarter, so I'll bet on beer.

 

Don't you get any time off while the stores are open?
