In high summer tempretures how long do beers keep?

In bottles/keg?

I'm residing to the fact my shed is as useful as a hairbrush to a hedgehog for brewing in but it might serve as a store for beer in summer.

What tempretures can kegged/bottled beers stand before they start going bad? Or how long can they keep at summer temps?

Thanks

Someone else will be able to explain this better than me, but you don't have to worry about beer going off in the same way that food does. A moderate strength beer should last over a year, maybe much longer. Stronger beers will easily last a good number of years. It's maturing during this time so the flavour will change, sometimes in quite a subtle way. Since most homebrewers don't filter, the yeast eat up the oxygen in the bottle and turn it into CO2, helping to preserve the beer. I'm not sure if temperature will be that big an issue, but I suspect it would speed up the maturation.

Tempreture is my main concern. My plan is to brew as much as possible before summer and stop. Then i can just drink what i have stored until the weather cools

Thanks!

Some Belgian brewers let their fermentation go up to 27-28c in summer, in the belief that the most important thing with the yeast is to pitch cool around 14c or so and then letting the yeast bring up the temp. maybe worth trying?

Thats a relief, i was afraid high summer tempretures may cause the kegged ale to go off quicker.

Thanks
