That's pretty much of a gross exaggeration. Some high gravity brews like barleywines, imperial stouts/porters, will mellow with a few years aging, but decades? Most bottle conditioned brews of average gravity are best fresh, especially the hoppy varieties.Nova said:Depends what kind of beer. Most bottle conditioned beer will improve for decades.
Yeah I wouldn't exactly say that. 10 % abv or up 3 or 4 years COULD be a well aged brew but there are way to many variables.Nova said:Depends what kind of beer. Most bottle conditioned beer will improve for decades.

My doctor says it is the hops. There is a local microbrew that uses tea instead of hops I've been meaning to try.
No. At first we thought it was lactose intolerance, but that is not the complete issue as some dairy doesn't bother while others do. No, hops are a natural laxative, according to my doctor. Well, that is the effect they have on me.Roguejim said:
I would have guessed it was the yeast, maybe, but I'm no doctor. Do you have a hops allergy?
Dairy in your beer?? How does that happen?Orekoc said:No. At first we thought it was lactose intolerance, but that is not the complete issue as some dairy doesn't bother while others do. No, hops are a natural laxative, according to my doctor. Well, that is the effect they have on me.
Not to throw any particular brand under the Bus so to speak but what Beer are you drinking? Since I've homebrewed the beer I drink I have found that the commercial stuff is terrible........ especially the day after!Orekoc said:Well, I was relying on the beer information from friends.
