    two years ago I brought back a couple of bottles of gueuze. I kept them in a cool dark place in the basement. A month ago I bought a beer fridge and transferred them into it at a constant 60 degrees. Someone told me I shouldn't have put them in after they stayed in a constant condition for so long. Any truth to this?

    I did notice a bottle of iris oddly had distinct dark spots on the bottling. Almost like a staining for lack of a better term. And the yeast layer in the bottom of the bottles is pretty thick.

    The bottles say beat by 2020.

    Did I hurt the integrity of these brews?

    Just getting into the aging/cellaring. Bear with me

    Shouldn't be a problem. Have you had these beers before?

    The transfer very likely did nothing to the quality of the beer. Dark streaks inside the bottles, between the beer and cork, is very common among Cantillon beers. Don't worry - never had that impact anything.
