This is one problem I don't have. I drink the stuff as fast as I get it. Anytime I pick up something new, I can't hold off drinking it up almost immediately.

There is stuff in there that's a couple years old, I guess I buy my beer like my cigars, buy 10 for every 1 I drink or smoke, lol
Kuzi mentioned temp not making a difference for long term aging. Temp makes ALL the difference with long term aging. Beer, like wine, should be stored in a cool, dark place with an even temperature. Large temp swings/variations, extreme cold or hot periods and light are all really bad for beer and wine over the long term. If you're planning on aging beer and don't have access to a basement that holds a relative 55-60F all year, invest in a fridge and retrofit it with a thermostat set to 55F.

yes. i meant that it didnt need to be in a fridge. clearly 110* would be all bad. sorry i didnt clarify.
Just checking. I had to read it twice because I knew you didn't mean it that way. Actually just set up my fridge last night, retrofitted with a digital therm - set at 55F. Started moving bottles in and shelves started bowing. Now I have to reinforce them or fit some PVC pipe in there as a stabilizer column in the middle of the shelves. That would be one VERY expensive mess to clean up.
I had a 6 pack of Mad Elf that I saved from last year so when this years came out I could compare the two. I realize batches are different year to year, but the difference was not overwhelming. The year old one was better, but probably not worth the storage to save it for a year.
