How long is Burial Beer beer fresh?

Burial Beer produces a range of styles, each with its own drinking window. For their most common categories:

• NEIPA / Hazy IPA: peak through 30 days, drinkable through 60 days.
• West Coast IPA: peak through 45 days, drinkable through 90 days.
• Sour / Wild Ale: peak through 1 year, drinkable through 3 years.

These are guidelines, not laws — well-stored beer can outperform the curve, while heat-abused cans can stale much faster than expected. Storage temperature matters as much as age for hop-forward styles.
