I was wondering how well other folks beers hold up in your kegs?? I just noticed that nearly every beer in my keezer was brewed before Feb. I don't have anything hoppy but just put my brain to thinking how well do other folks beers hold up over time in your kegs?? I have a nice Belgian Pale ale, Vienna ale, English ale, and a Brett/Funk.. All are holding up very well and just wanted to hear how others folks are doing.
 
I brew many IPAs, but those are fine until the keg is gone. I haven't had any problems with kegging or serving from the kegs. I imagine the IPAs and pale ales would lose some hops flavor with some time, but I haven't noticed it being an issue for me. My kegerator is set at 39 degrees.
 
My beers don't hold up too well in kegs. It is too easy to get the beer out. And there isn't a bunch of bottles sitting around to tell you how many you have already had........

edited for spelling.

We had a major home reno start the 2nd week of September and I was going to be shut down 'til March.
So along with some styles with legs (a porter, a stout, and a Belgian) I put 10 gallons of the popular Julius clone in kegs on September 6th and had the last pour on January 9th.

It was still a wonderful hazy juice bomb, which made it that much sadder to kick the last keg.
Major O2 avoidance every step of the way on that style in particular, otherwise it's got no legs...

Cheers!
