How long are beers aged for?

In general, beers are not aged. They typically go through a double fermentation process. Once they have fermented, they are bottled with additional sugar added that 'bottle conditions' the beer and adds the fizz. This typically only takes a couple of days.

Many beers coming from a very large brewery only go through a single fermentation. They are then bottled with carbonation added.

Some beers do mature with age, numerous imperial stouts will benefit from remaining in the bottle for several years.
