How long does beer stay fresh non-refrigerated?

I'm in a monthly beer club that delivers a case of various microbrews to me each month. I recently received this month's shipment but am moving in 2 weeks and not planning on finishing the beers before that time. I know better than to chill the beers and then let them rewarm, but would also rather not have to transfer them in a cooler in order to keep them cold during the move. So can they be stored at room temperature until after the move without losing any freshness? Thanks!|||Long time 6 months at least but keep it from getting hot in the summer|||It depends on the beer. Most domestics have a shelf life of 3-6 months depending on what you get. Most Imports are longer, some up to a year or so. If you must store the beer, it would be better to store it in a cool dark place... and I would think they would be fine. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to check the life expectancy of the beer with the microbrewery.





BTW, Good luck on the move!|||Sealed they should be fine for a few months at room (not any warmer) temp. Keep them in a darker area, away from a window.
