Controlling temperature at every stage of the brewing process is critical, and our brewers go to great lengths to ensure this: in the mash-tun, in the boil kettle, in the whirlpool, in the fermenter, at the canning line, and in storage and distribution — but it doesn’t stop there!

A lot of the beer we love to make at Hudson Valley Brewery (especially Sour IPA) is fermented with fresh fruit juice and conditioned on a variety of botanicals. These ingredients and flavors are bright and lively, but also delicate and fleeting, and they can begin to fade and change at warmer temperatures over time.

When storing our beer, please keep in mind that it is unpasteurized and naturally fermented. In order to ensure the best possible drinking experience, refrigerate it upon arrival, keep it cold, and drink it fresh!
