Have you ever heard it's better to cellar beer vertically rather than horizontally (like wine)? The theory behind is that a bottle stored upright has less surface area exposed to oxygen whereas a bottle laid down on its side increases that area massively and will oxidize quicker and more prominently. I decided to put this theory to the test and conducted an experiment that took me TWO YEARS to complete. I bought two 8-packs of Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from North Coast brewing and laid one down horizontally. I tasted them at 3 months, 6 months, a year and two years to see if there was a noticeable difference. Was there? Watch and find out!
