Is It Safe to Store Beer in the Trunk in Hot Weather?

Storing beer in the trunk in hot weather is not safe. Beer may explode: Storing beer in the trunk in hot weather may cause it to explode. This is because a large amount of gas is injected into the beer during production. If the road is bumpy while driving, the combination of high temperatures and vigorous shaking can cause the carbon dioxide inside the beer to continuously release, increasing the pressure inside the bottle. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the beer bottle may rupture and explode. Beer exposed to sunlight in the car: The ideal storage conditions for beer are between 5°C and 25°C, away from light. Beer exposed to sunlight in the car will have its flavor balance disrupted, resulting in a poor taste. Additionally, the bitterness from hops and tannins will oxidize, the beer's color may turn red, and cloudiness may occur prematurely, indicating that the beer itself has deteriorated.
