    So my fridge where I store all my beer is getting backed, and I want to move some beer from the fridge to "dry" storage. My basement maintains an ambient 60 degrees pretty much throughout the year and may fluctuate a bit seasonally.

    Are there any issues with moving things from the fridge to a different environment? Just about everything I'd be moving is BA Stouts, or regular "big" Stouts, like Darkness Lord (just a few sours or barleywine type). Beers are anywhere from 2012 to 2016 vintages.

    Advice really appreciated on this.

    You will be fine, they will be warm enough to start maturing rather than being preserved at refrigerator temperature.

    Sours will benefit the most (the flavor will develop 'quicker'), and you will be able to enjoy beer at cellar temps without having to let them warm up.
