How long is Trillium Brewing beer fresh?
Trillium Brewing 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.
- Double / Imperial IPA: peak through 30 days, drinkable through 75 days.
- Pale Ale: peak through 60 days, drinkable through 120 days.
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.
