There are several other beers that SHOULD be refrigerated according to
the label and/or the brewery, but it's often ignored.
From Anchor's FAQ
http://www.anchorbrewing.com/about_us/faq.htm#distribution
"...we require all of our distributors, national and international, to
refrigerate our products during trans****t from the brewery to the
warehouse. It is a very im****tant consideration; many distributors find
this to be either impossible or too expensive for them. As a result,
this requirement has limited our choice of distributors."
A number of micros request it as well. In my area, one of the better NJ
micros, Climax, only bottles in 1/2 gallon growlers, unpasteurized, but
are often found on the "warm" shelf- even tho' they self-distribute and
you'd think the retailer would follow their wishes.
Sadly, too many beer retailers, both good and bad, are more worried
about an impressive display of beers on their shelves, rather than
storing beer correctly. All those clear and green bottled beer sitting
in the bright fluorescent light always brings a tear to my eye...
