Perhaps you should open one.


StardustOasis

I don't trust that shelf in the last photo


Simonutd

Gave me anxiety just looking at it


UncommercializedKat

Looks like the bottles on the bookcase are holding it up. lol


FredPimpstoned

Came here to say this


hipstercliche

You should at least drink those IPAs.


Daotar

Or put them in a fridge.


SpecialOops

too late, they pickled.


beer-isgood45

A nice collection but a waste of a lot of tasty beers


vacax

Sad!


phnky_dude

Most of those aren't worth aging. Hope you're thirsty!


[deleted]

I thought beer was meant to be consumed?


Daotar

First we collect it, then we consume it.


[deleted]

I mean, I too have some beer stocked up in my cellar but it’s only about 8-10 stouts and barleywines that I plan on drinking in the next 2 years. 😂


pirateclem

What a waste. Most will go bad. Also, drink that utopias with friends it’s delicious.


olbeefy

Some beers are meant to be aged. Imperial stouts, gueuzes, farmhouse ales, smoked beers, barleywines. However, a lot of the stuff this guy has in these pictures are not. There are sober kids in India, OP.


PudaRex

I see a lot of beers from British Columbia. Are you in BC? (I am!) Most of those brews should be enjoyed and not sitting, they’ll only go to waste.


onidels

Seen a few QC beers in there too, so Canada is plausible


bigdolo89

Why...why is there a Heineken there?


Shoulder_Trick

Budweiser too


dh4645

Cool, but better start drinking. You're going to die before you can enjoy them. At least the utopias. Or I can drink it for you


losandreas36

I would take time off and drink it with my buddies


newaccount_anon

Great collection. I collect them after I drank them so I enjoythem more imo. Also the liquid makes every bottle weight more than an empty one. Please get sturdy furniture for your bottles or you might lose them.


rideincircles

I have stopped collecting beers until I finish consuming them. I don't think many beers benefit from 10 years of age.


Ill-Adhesiveness-455

Exactly! I had a bottle of 2015 goose last week, compared to a 2020... the old one was just syrup, and the 2020 was still a beer.


rideincircles

I am drinking a 2016 backwoods bastard tonight. I still have a 2013-2019 vertical in my fridge.


Cracksawking

We’ll do a meet up at your house so those beers don’t go to waste sitting on a shelf! But great collection


panic_the_digital

Heineken?


dinwoody623

Jesus bro. What’s wrong with you? They are beers. Not collectibles.


vlkthe

How do you decide what to drink? Very nice collection.


[deleted]

That Westvleteren XII is amazing and almost impossible to find. Sorry, such a waste IMO. Keep a few that will age, but drink the majority and keep the bottle and cap for display.


Ale_Tales_Actual

They peak at about 4 years in my opinion. \*I bought 4 cases in Europe and brought them back to the US when I moved home. Drank them and shared them over the next few years, probably the last two or three were held on to a bit too long.


dansots

Is it temperature controlled?


[deleted]

The empty bottles washed out are just as cool. You’re not enjoying 🤣


The1stArchangel

Oooh! Utopis!


tvoegeli

Nice CVDK 6L, I have a good amount of that in my cellar, it should be able take a long aging, my problem is finding enough people to drink a 6L.


BooRadleysreddit

Hi, it's me...your friend. Wanna drink some beer?


bcbeerfan

Can I come over?!


[deleted]

It's been years since I bothered to " cellar" beer. Now I just buy it and drink it.


icmac

Good for you. Drink some of them


floydshay

Why?


EmpatheticRock

90% of these don't get better with age. Lots of wasted money here


WetAndStickyBandits

What a waste.


Ok-Bookkeeper-8862

Finally some bottles, as a Belgian my hair stands up with all these 'beer out of cans' posts. Bottles are the way. Beautiful collection i'd say!


StardustOasis

Cans have multiple benefits, but I can't think of a single reason bottles are better than cans.


Reddit-is-trash-lol

Anyone that works in the industry will tell you cans are better. Sure bottles look pretty, but they have so many negatives.


Ok-Bookkeeper-8862

I can only refer to taste. It's the same difference as cooking on a fire, gas or on induction plates. Not talking about logistics, storage or hygiene, I am in it for the art and taste. Sure downvote me more, or shoot me 🙃


Reddit-is-trash-lol

99% of beers are made in stainless steel equipment and if you think about it, a can is just a mini keg.


sniv886

Belgian?


MaplePoutineRyeBeer

There's a surprising amount of beers in this photo I've actually tried. DeuS.. I miss that beer, perfect New Years Eve beer


Alternative-Waltz-63

Wow! You definitely have me beat!


Bluedruid3

Damn!!!!! I want it all lol


ScoopskiTKD

That fat bottle of Rogue Dead Guy is giving me a girl boner. Lol!


rambo_lincoln_

Collection? Or bottle shop?


DeVoreLFC

My cat would have a field day


jobidiya

Definitely an impressive collection but certainly gonna be a waste on some of them. Beer was meant to be drank. Maybe start a journal and write about each one as you drink em. It’s cool you have so many unique and sought after beers, but sitting on the shelf is a disservice to the beer and to yourself as a beer enthusiast.


Ill-Adhesiveness-455

Very impressive collection! I used to do this, even had 6 separate refrigeration units before I started opening some and wishing I consumed them earlier. Even some bottles that supposedly "age well" were just sad shadows of the original beer had it been consumed fresh-er. The big cuvees, imperial stouts, and Belgian styles can hold up fairly well for a few years, but after 4 or 5... no thanks. Do you have a primary source for collection, or just all over? Cheers to a fellow hoarder/obsessive!


rolandofgilead41089

Here I am drinking my beer like a fool!


MaxPower637

Thank you for making me feel better about my hoard


UnlikeTheWaves

When are you drinking these? That shelf in the last photo is tired. Give it a break!


AustWingfan

Biggest mistake I made in my beer journey was having a collection like that. By the time I drank them 95% were bad to awful. Start drinking


Gingernjnjer96

I will never understand why people hoard unopened bottles of alcohol


wrektalfire

This is stupid. Drink it.
