Am pritty new to brewing, so sorry for the newbie question.

Am looking to do a few brews for a summer bbq and have identified the 2 brews I am going to do for the occation. The brews will be the Festival Razorback IPA and the Milestone Lions Pride. However I only have the abilities to brew one at a time (only one fermenting vessel), before bottling.

I have read a thread, on here, that the Razorback does not want to be in the bottle for more than 2-3 months otherwise the hoppy flavour falls away. I was wondering how long the Milestone brew would keep for in the bottles, so I can see if I can brew it once the Razorback is bottled or whether I am better brewing and bottling the Milestone first.

Any advice greatly received.
 
It'll keep for at least 12 months. Also, whilst the hops may fade slightly I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
