I refrigerate mine or freeze for extended storage.
On Tap - Oak Aged Bourbon Porter & Barleywine

Primary - Mead

The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.

I put all my hops in the freezer, unless I plan on using them quickly. No matter the packaging, temperature has a profound effect on hops keeping their flavor. The colder, the better.
