Brewed a year ago and lagered. Time is coming to brew it again!

But doesn't it get bad after a year?

It gets better! That's why they call it lager.

Ales get better with years passing too though.

Alcohol does not go bad usually. If under 5 percent mother of vinegar can turn it, that bitch.

I have over 15 gallons of vinegar, good stuff but I wanted the alcohol.
