Much like good wine, certain beers can be aged under the right
conditions, a process that enhances and changes their flavors in
interesting and delicious ways. Good candidates for aging are
high-alcohol brews, bottle-conditioned beers with yeast in the bottle,
barleywines, lambics, and winter ales. Patrick Dawson explains how to
identify a cellar-worthy beer, how to plan and set up a beer cellar,
what to look for when tasting vintage beers, and the fascinating science
behind the aging process. He also includes a comprehensive buying guide
to help you select already-aged beers (from the readily available to
the tantalizingly rare) to enjoy as your own collection is aging.

their own styles, methods, and aesthetics. Their ideas, their quilts,
and their tips, tutorials, and techniques will inspire you to try
something new and follow your own creativity wherever it leads.
