Beer MythSkunked (or "Light Struck") Beer
Skunked beer is the bogey man of the beer world. New beer drinkers are told to never let refrigerated beer get warm - and definitely don't cool it again! - or suffer off-putting and skunky flavored consequences.
This is a myth!
The truth is that moderate temperature exchanges will not affect the flavor of your beer, like taking un-opened bottles from the fridge to the counter and back again. Really extreme temperature changes are another matter.
What does actually affect the flavor of beer is exposure to ultra-violet light. The hop-derived molecules in the beer will break apart and recombine with a sulfuric compound. These "light struck" beers have a distinctive wet cardboard flavor that's not very appealing to drink!
