Tip: sell emotional items of lower value early to get the audience tuned in. Examples are things for kids, one of a kind memorabilia, or homemade items. Sell merchandise items generally in the first half of the auction; experiences generally in the second half.
A general rule of thumb is that beers from large breweries will have a shelf life of approximately 8 to 12 months if refrigerated properly and kept from direct light, or 4 to 6 months at room temperature.
The precise answer to the question ? How long does beer last? depends to a large extent on storage conditions - store beer in cool, dark area. Keep beer away from direct sources of heat or light; too much exposure to light can cause beer to develop a foul taste.
