so the four cans of Hopslam my cousin procured for me to drink when I get there in 3 weeks…should be ok then


I didn't say there was a hard and fast rule and it probably depends on the specific IPA, but I'm going to guess it would be fine…

so how many beers can you fit in your heart?


About the same number you can fit in your wife's pussy.

They should be fine.  Refrigeration will insure that.

So, if I keep the entire set in the fridge the entire time, I reasonably can get 2.5-3 months without major quality loss? Someone just got me 8 6-packs of Hopslam!

the one-month buy/two-month drink rule is a good one, generally speaking.  certain brands do better than others with regards to age.  i've found that Stone beers tend to weather time a little better than most brands.

refrigeration would be beneficial and would extend the time-frame.  maybe double it, if it's been refrigerated the whole time.

Seems like you should talk to Relaxer about that one, assuming he doesn't forget to wear it.

you're not losing quality so much as flavor and aroma.  the beers will be perfectly fine, but might not pack as much of a hop punch as when they were fresh.  and as the name of that beer implies, its goal is to slam you with hops.

depending on how you like your IPAs, letting them age is un-doing exactly what is great about the style.  however, if you don't like beers to have that much hop character, then aging makes sense… but then you should ask yourself why you're getting an IPA in the first place ;D

Last night at the 9:30 Club…

First beer - Star Hill - Northern Lights IPA - It was completely undrinkable and maybe one of the worst beers I've had in a long time. I suspect miller lite was flowing through the taps and then new castle and then they switched to a year old IPA. I considered taking it back to the bar, but I decided not to. I'm not sure why I went against my "never order a draft at a bar that doesn't specialize in beer" rule.

Second beer - Flying Dog - Doggie Style Pale Ale - Bottle, drinkable, but not too tasty.

Third Beer - Budweiser - Bottle - Best beer of the night.

Cool, thanks for all the advice. If I can get three reasonably good months out of them then I don't need to start giving this away. There was no way I could attempt to blow through 48 of those in the next few weeks.

Well hellooooooooo!  This seems like a good kickstarter bonus for the funders of the GWARBQ project.

Certainly, jaded! Come to RVA next weekend and you are welcome to binge-watch House of Cards and binge-drink all the Hopslam you can digest.
