Often times when people swing by and visit me in the house where I’m staying these days, they wind up laughing heartily at my living situation.
To be fair, the house where I’m staying is perfectly fine.
It is well maintained in the neighborhood is extremely safe. The people that I live with are also really great, but we have one similarity that most people can’t seem to get over. I currently live in a house full of people who work in the beer industry. That means one thing, free beer. When you enter the house, you can’t help but notice that there is beer everywhere. Most of the time, this is actually a big problem. When you brew fine, gourmet craft beer you generally don’t want to change the temperature of the beverage too often. It really does best if you can put it in consistently cool and dry storage. Obviously, this is best when you have a large refrigerator to store your back stock brews. Unfortunately, we never have that much refrigerator space to keep it cool. Instead, we always have to be mindful of the ambient indoor air temperature so that we don’t accidentally explode the cases of beer sitting everywhere with an indoor temperature fluctuation. If I was going to be in the craft brewery industry for a long time, I might consider purchasing advanced air temperature control equipment and is zone controlled cooling so that I could create a beer cellaring room with high intensity air conditioning and humidity control. Until I know what my future plans are, I will continue utilizing the naturally cool, dry basement for my beer storage.
