You’re rushing out the door to hot yoga, the gym, or a hike. You open the fridge… and nothing. Zero cold brew. Again. Or you’re three days into a camping trip and that last iced coffee you packed is now a lukewarm disappointment. Sound familiar?
That’s why shelf stable cold brew exists—and why it’s quietly taking over the bags of runners, yogis, climbers, and anyone who refuses to let caffeine chaos slow them down. No refrigeration required until you crack the can. Stock the pantry, toss one in your gym bag, order a case online and have canned coffee shipped straight to your door with zero spoilage risk. Shelf stable cold brew = freedom.
Bare Brew wrote the playbook on this. 100% Arabica beans, 48-hour steep, 300–320 mg natural caffeine, zero sugar, zero additives—and a full 12-month shelf life without a single preservative. Here’s exactly how it works (and why it’s legitimately better than the fridge stuff).
The Science: How Bare Brew Stays Fresh for 12 Months (No Preservatives)
Shelf stability isn’t magic; it’s precision. After our cold brew is steeped to perfection, we use an FDA-approved shelf-stabilizing pasteurization process (ultra-clean, high-temperature flash followed by aseptic filling into cans). This kills any potential bacteria in seconds, then the can is hermetically sealed in a sterile environment. Oxygen can’t get in. Light can’t get in. Flavor can’t get out.
Result? A 12-month best-by date with the exact same rich, chocolatey, naturally sweet taste on day 365 as day one. And because we never add preservatives, acids, or “natural flavors,” what you taste is 100% coffee—nothing else.
Myth busted: shelf stable doesn’t mean “processed junk.” It means we lock in peak freshness the moment the brew is perfect. Most refrigerated bottled cold brews actually start oxidizing the second they’re bottled. We don’t.
The Convenience Factor: Built for the Active Life
- Pantry stockpiling: A 12-pack lives happily in your cabinet. No more Tetris in the fridge.
- Gym-bag approved: Yogis at Ritual Hot Yoga in San Francisco crushed a sampling session and immediately asked where to buy—because one can of Bare Brew survives the entire flow without refrigeration.
- Travel & adventure proof: Hiking, climbing, road trips, hotel rooms, office desks—throw it anywhere.
- Eco-friendly shipping: Every order ships free in 100% recyclable, insulated packaging that protects the cans without styrofoam or plastic waste. Standard ground shipping (1–5 days) is more than enough because temperature swings don’t faze a properly sealed can.
Safe, Free Shipping—Nationwide, Zero Compromise
Order today, it ships tomorrow. Free, always. We pack every box in lightweight, recyclable insulation and reinforced corrugated cardboard so your cans arrive dent-free and pantry-ready, even in the dead of summer or winter. Thousands of cases later, the verdict from customers is unanimous: “Tasted like it was brewed five minutes ago.”
That’s the shelf-stable promise.
Quick FAQ & Pro Tips
How long does unopened Bare Brew last? 12 full months from production. Check the bottom of the can for the exact date.
Do I need to refrigerate it before drinking? Nope (that’s the whole point). But for maximum refreshment, chill it for 30–60 minutes or pour over ice.
Should I shake the can? Gentle tilt or two is plenty—helps redistribute the natural coffee oils for an even smoother sip.
Once opened? Treat it like fresh cold brew: fridge and finish within 3–5 days.
The Bottom Line
Shelf stable cold brew isn’t a compromise—it’s the upgrade active people have been waiting for. Premium taste, monster clean caffeine (300–320 mg), zero sugar, and the freedom to keep it anywhere life takes you.
Whether you’re flowing at Ritual Hot Yoga, crushing a trail run, or just refusing to run out of coffee ever again, Bare Brew was built for exactly how you move.
