How to store my beer?

Just getting back into the hobby and would like to know how you guys store your beer and how I should go about doing so. I have room to devote a mini fridge for my home brew but I don’t have room in my full size fridge to store any of it and obviously my mini fridge will not hold a full 5 gallon batch of bottles. I’ve stored it at room temperature before but will that ruin the beer if I don’t drink it fast enough? The temps in my house can easily reach 78f on the hottest days of summer even with the ac on.

I know a couple people have recommended just buying a fridge. Having no idea what your living situation or space is like. So I don't think that's a very fair piece of advice to just throw out there. As others have said, it will store fine for many months at room temperature.Just make sure you refrigerate it for a good week before you drink it to make sure all the carbonation is fully dissolved, you're good to go

I don’t really have the space for another large fridge at the moment so as long as it will last 4 months or so I think I will just store it at room temperature. Thank you
