What is cold storage and why do some Suppliers require it?

A small number of Suppliers require their products to be kept in cold storage at all times and may reject your connection request if you can't commit to this.


Why?

The flavour of beer, especially those that contain adjuncts* or a high concentration of hops, can change over time. Keeping beer cold at all times slows this process, ensuring that consumers receive beer that is consistent and tastes as close to how the brewer intended.

FUN FACT *Adjuncts are anything added to the beer that isn't water, grain, hops or yeast. Common examples of adjuncts are fruit, coffee, chocolate or coconut.
