I have a simple question. It seems that, based on what I have read in books and on these forums, homebrewed beer has a much longer shelf life than commercially brewed beer you buy in the store- why is this, especially considering commercial beer is pasteurized?
In the past, I've always thought of beer having a pretty steady decline in freshness...whereas all I seem to hear about homebrew is "just continues to get better with time" and "your beer should stay fresh for at least 6 months".
Just how does it do it??
