Cellaring on a budget

BBA Central Waters 4-packs. The prices went up slightly this year, but 48oz for $13-15 is still a pretty good deal.

 

I've been stocking up on 2013 GI Matilda & Sophie I found at a local gas station. $10 for a 4 pk.

 

Follow up question on this subject. I just got myself a bottle of North Coast's 2014 Old Stock Ale. Ideal serving temp is 60 degrees. I live in a one-story apartment (no cellar) and have only a standard fridge. Any tricks about how to get it to ideal temp? Maybe put in fridge for one hour?

 

I'd just leave it in the fridge and then let it sit for ~10 min before drinking.

 

I'd pull it out of the fridge like a half hour before you crack it open. If you're going to drink another beer first, pull it out of the fridge at the same time.

 

Stone IRS is one of my favorite beers to age. Really easy to get, cheap and after a few years it really becomes something special. I have also found that Stone Double bastard is a great beer to age as well.

 

Thanks, folks, I'll try that.

 

If you can still find Brooklyn Monster pick some up ~9 four-pack. It will already be shelf aged too. I had one a few months ago that was 4 years old, t'was amazing
