Evening all, I have a question about a beer I'd like to bring to a Christmas party in early December.
I have a Munich Dunkel lagering in a keg now for about 3 1/2 weeks. I pulled a sample tonight and it tastes great. I'd like to serve this keg in a cooler full of ice at a Christmas party in 5 weeks. I'd have to transport the keg about 8 miles in my car, where it will definitely slosh at least a little.
My question is, is there ever a good way to transport a keg that has been lagering for weeks? Isn't the point of lagering to clear/age the beer, or for a dunkel clarity isn't important anyway, so my lagering is merely for aging purposes? Is transporting lager in a keg ruining the entire point of lagering in the first place, literally upon the first bump you hit in the road?
Thanks, a little confused here.
