I know that belgians and some other beers are happy to age at cellar temps, 55° and the like, but are there any beers that age well at room temp 72°?
thinking any IPA would store/age well at room temps.
i mean the style was created for the half world trip to india on a 18th century sailing ship with no A/C and the drank cargo hole at stifling temps.
in a home where the temp is between 78-82 during the summer (A/C), i would think any stout or porter, or strong ale would do okay.
further considering, probably any beer that could be served from a cask thru a beer engine would qualify for ambient temp saging in my opinion......
age -on!
GD
I would be miserable if my house was 78-82 with the a/c on during the summer.
None - aging beer sux. I've had zero positive experiences aging beer.
[...]If you age at 34, it'll take effect slower than if you age at 50, and 50 will be slower than 68.[...]

The IPA thing is a myth. There is no evidence that suggests the IPA was created for the trip to India. Read Mitch Steeles New book IPA. The ipas they drank back then we're slightly sour and mega hopped so that the hop character didn't dissipate over the lengthy trip.
No beer should be aged at room temp.
Nope.I'd rather drink fresh, I'd rather drink the beer that the brewer presented. I've aged a bunch of beer and had terrible results - lost $100's of dollars-never would age a beer again.
