. Essentially, beer from local brewery tends to be fresher than other beers?

A good stout is still excellent a year later and often even improved with age.

I am not a Scotch person, but thank you for the awesome advice on Scotch selection. So if I get Scotch next time, I will know what to getI think I see this becoming a trend...
Or I can take up H.Hardhat's advice to start a series of thread on the top favorite beverages that guys would love to have at incall.Originally Posted by Champagne Brown

Exposure to heat and light will ruin almost any beer very quickly so don't buy more than you can store in the fridge. Someone mentioned this above and if you were wondering, "Skunked" is a beer enthusiast's word for what happens when UV light meets hops molecules and they break down/merge with sulfur atoms to create off flavors in a beer that smell similar to a skunk. Beer nerds won't buy beer on display or even from stores with bright lighting because of skunking fears. Dark bottles provide the most protection from UV light whereas green provides less and clear provides none. Myself I've only had a truly skunked beer a few times but it's a real thing lol.
