    My cousin picked me up some Heady Topper the first week of January, but I'm not going to see him until the first week of March. Will Heady Topper stay fresh for 2 months or should I tell him to ship it to me? I'm afraid by shipping it, it'll get shaken and ultimately affect the beer.

    Hey, youmeandbrew. Here's some advice straight from the man himself;

    Everyone's mileage differs based on perception and storage conditions but I've had 3 month old refrigerated Heady and thought it was awesome.

    Youre going to get such a varying answer on this, I say 2 months will be fine but the way people are these days anything more a few hours old is too old it seems.

    And shipping will have no effect on the beer, beer gets shaken around all the time during transport.
