here’s a right way and a wrong way to store your beer.

If you’ve got some decent bottles of wine, hopefully they’re on their side. 

So what about beer? Those bottles or cans should be standing up. When beer is on its side, more of its contents are exposed to the oxygen in the container. That oxygen depletes the flavor of the beer. You also want any yeast in the beer to settle at the bottom of the bottle rather than on the side where it won’t settle or mix in to your brew properly.
