Question about kegs

[Nitpick]That’s Anheuser-Busch, and their products are lagers. He’s talking about Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is…well…ale. It is brewed, stored, and served at higher temperatures than lagers.

Yes, but not at room temperature.

I doubt most people have rooms where the temperature is usually 60 degrees.

InvisibleWombat, because they’re the same fridge, I necessarily have to drink my own ales at lager temperatures.

Understood. Same here.

I said, “in the sixties,” not “sixty degrees.” Every house I’ve lived in has had a closet without a heating vent, or a spot in the cellar, or somewhere that the temperature rarely climbed above 68 or so. Although that’s too high for a serving temperature, it’s just fine for storing a keg of ale for a month–as long as it’s out of the light.

Hmmm.

I suppose living in Florida my perspective on finding cold places to put things is somewhat skewed.

-as long as it’s out of the light.

Um… whoosh?
Right?

Not a whoosh - I was just unclear. Even with shiny metal kegs, the contents will get hot if they sit in the sun too long. I didn’t mean that the light would affect the beer–it’s the excess heat.
