Aged Canned Beer

[Pehlman17]

I’ve always been curious about how beers would age in cans vs bottles now that cans have become so ubiquitous. I have my first data point tonight. Picked up a 4pk of Allagash North Sky from a local shop. Didn’t realize it was over 2 years old until I cracked my second one and was commenting on how amazing it was. So far so good for can aging I suppose.

Cans are actualy pretty good for preserving beer because no light can come through it, the other most important factor is how cold it has been kept.

A 7.5% stout without oxygen ingress should be at its best at two years! Maybe half a year younger or older would be better, but the general direction is very good.
