I always wondered how much beer I've had over the years that didn't taste as it should because 99% of what I buy, goes right in the fridge if I plan on drinking it within a month or so. The only reason it doesn't go in the fridge is because it doesn't fit or I have it already in there. For example, I totally forgot I have the coconut/proprietors bottle sitting in there since last November.
I drink every beer I can ice cold whether I'm supposed to or not because anything even luke warm is hard to drink, but I just wonder how many beers over the year I've "stored" waaaaayy too cold and it changed the beer, taste and otherwise.
Bretts not included, storing most beers that people age (stouts, porters, barley wines etc.) in the fridge will just slow down the aging process.
I currently have two stouts in my fridge due to issues they've had (acknowledged by the brewer) from storing in warmer areas. Everything else is in the basement.
