I try to keep mine under control, it's perhaps 15 bottles at the moment, about a third of which is Lion Stout.

People who hoard nerd beer are most likely socially awkward and have borderline personality disorder.

I had a super competitive friend in the US that had a basement full of 5 beer shelves, plus a TOWER of 12x 750ml bottle cases. We counted one night that he had 1,200 bottles in the "cellar" and he had no plans to drink them.

Strikes me as a strange combination of competitiveness and a hoarding mentality. It was tough to watch all that good beer go unconsumed!

Currently drinking down the cellar. Some have been absolute gems and others not so much.
Have added no new beer to it in the last year. With tasting season about to start up here I'll likely get the count down to under 30 before it's over.

Good fucking god. I hope you're lying.


He is not.


Flight to SFO booked


Fly into Moffet field and he'll not only greet you with a case of beers you haven't rated yet but he'll give you the tour of the nuclear weapons testing lab and he'll introduce you to the aliens they have locked up there. I heard one of them likes hazy ipas.

Way too much. Hundreds easily, maybe upwards of a thousand. Some is here in London, some is in the US. I know it's famous last words, but I am in the process of working through it.

The proliferation of very good beer in the UK (esp. hoppy stuff), has meant I'm not drinking cellar beers very often, instead opting for the fresh juice. But this winter I'll aim to drink more of the old strong stuff.

I think this is a big part of it for me. I don't have to trade or wait for a seasonal release to get something good from just about any style. I can go to the gas station or grocery store and get decent beer. No need to be drinking 5 year old beer anymore.
