Common beers should be consumed quickly, like milk, to ensure freshness and quality. Hair of the Dog beers can be cellared for years before consuming. The flavor profile of all Hair of the Dog beers changes with time. Indeed, some people assert that Hair of the Dog beers, like fine wines, are better after a few years of careful storage. For best results the beers should be stored in a cool place with few temperature variations, like a wine cellar.
You may ask "how long?" That depends on your tastes and we
will not tell you what you like. We have bottles of batch #1 stored at
the Brewery still aging, still changing and tasting great. Thank you for
your patience, we hope you recieve all the benefits that time will bring.
