Notes: Berkshire only distributes in 22oz or larger containers. The bottle front says 'Keep Refrigerated' but I doubt the store where I bought it followed those instructions, as I saw bottles both in the cooler and on shelves. However, my homebrewed beer isn't refrigerated until serving time, so the warning may exist because BBC can't control the distribution channels' rotation and disposal policies.
