OK, so I brewed an ESB a few weeks ago and it has been in the bottle for about 2.5 weeks. I put one in the fridge yesterday and tried it after it was cold. It was pretty good. Not my favorite, but then that's not my favorite style - I mostly did it because my wife and best friend really like that style.
So, after drinking the tester, I put a few others in the fridge for future consumption.
Now I'm thinking the beer could probably do with a bit more aging. I don't know this for a fact, but I suspect it's true. The ones that I have in the fridge now... if I take them out, will they continue to bottle age properly if I take them out and let them go back to sitting in the closet at about 70 degrees? Or should I just leave them and not worry about it since they are definitely drinkable?
