Caring for your Beer in Box

Shelf life

These products contain fresh beer and have a short shelf life compared to bottled beer. The beer is best within 7 days of purchase, drunk as fresh as possible and within 2-3 days of opening.

Storage.

In these summer months, it’s probably best to keep the beer refrigerated and then brought out for approximately 20 minutes before drinking. The optimum drinking temperature is around 10 degrees Celcius.

When keeping your beer at fridge temperature please be aware that a harmless 'chill haze' may develop, the haze will not affect the flavour of the beer but may reduce its clarity.

It's also best to keep your beer out of direct sunlight.

If the beer is stored above 10 degrees the yeast wakes up and some further fermentation can take place. This will enlarge the bag with CO2. If this occurs, tap off the gas and the beer should not be affected.
