I live and work in Germany for a large intl. macro and I know of only 1 microbrewery which stores filled/bottled product in a cooler prior to delivery. This is a smaller brewery which fills re-fillable growlers and according to the brewer he does it for "microbiological" reasons. Help me out here folks - is this necessary/expected in the craft segment in the States?? Or is this a difference in brewing and/or filling? Or maybe simply a perceived increase in quality? The "best before" dates (with no cooling, just your standard recommended cool, dry place) here are traditionally 8-12 months, depending on brewery....
Did I miss something along the line ??
