If your beer in a bottle skunks, it means:
1) it tasted like crap to begin with (I'm lookin' at you, Heineken)
2) it didn't have enough hops, as hops is a natural anti-oxidxant (which is why the original IPAs had so much hops, to survive passage from England to India).
3) it was too old
If you're storing your beer in a place where it's exposed to sunlight, you already failed. See, your beer needs to be in a fridge or a cellar, not in your flowerbed.
Freaking savages.
