I store mine in my belly.

Guys, what are your recommendations for storing ales?

Aldi over here have got some amazing craft beers in at the moment, I've bought in 2 different APA's, a whole bunch of IPA's, a wheat beer, a ruby red ale and a few stouts.

I usually leave the ales out f the fridge as they seem to pour very flat when chilled, but just wanted some advice from you guys in the know.

Stouts, sours and Belgian strong ales will keep for years and depending on the beer develop new complex flavours the longer you store them.

Everything else should be drunk asap, especially the IPA's. The beer starts to lose it's hoppiness the moment it's bottled. Not sure on the wheat beer, probably best to drink that fast as they're usually low abv so won't keep as well.

I keep mine in the shed outside. Perfect temps at this time of the year ~12oC, but when it drops close to 0 I bring them inside and chill them in the fridge appropriately before drinking.

Oh, and this.

Gypsy Hill - Hepcat. 4.6% Session IPA. Absolutely awesome beer, one of my favourites in this style. Massive whack of bitter orange, mango and papaya with a lasting bitterness. Juice bomb.

4 pints of Punk IPA to drown out that utter guff on the TV. Excellent stuff on tap.
