Oh yes! Most brewers are really serious about their distributors
storing beer at the right temperature. When the A/B district reps come
in one of the first thing they want to see is the warehouse temperature
logs.

OTOH, your client probably spent $3K to save $100 and probably missed a
chance to try Carib and Presidente. Can't say much for Carib but
Presidente is a great beer.

Beer Onboard
I know this is hard to believe but it is true. Eighteen years ago I
was contacted by a Gulf coast cruiser that spent his winters in the
Bahamas on board a 37 ft. sailboat. Beer at that time, in the Bahamas,
cost $26 a case so he wanted to carry his winter supply onboard 35
cases, apparently he was not a racier. What he wanted me to do was to
design him a beer cooler to cool his beer separate from the galley
refrigerator. A standard engine driven system for the two boxes would
work but he would need to build a second box. He must have believed
that beer was like fine wine because what he was really asking for was
a cooler onboard to keep all 35 cases of beer cold all the time.
The V berth area was cleaned out and a very large cooler was
constructed, he even spray foamed inside areas of the hull with
insulation.
I don't know how his winter with cold beer worked but he was happy
with his refrigeration when he left.

Yes I know, I told this story before in one of my books.
