Not sure we have every addressed this, but do you guys have a stash of beers that you are aging somewhere? I started a collection with youngster in his basement a few months ago and have the following:
1 750ml DFH Fort
1 12oz DFH Palo Santo
1 12oz DFH WW Stout
1 750ml Firestone Walker XV anny.
2 12oz Otter Creek 20th anny.
6 12oz Sierra Nevada Bigfoot
Whats in your cellar?

In my cellar, which is really the crawlspace under my front stairs (although it works awesome since it is uninsulated, so while the rest of my house is 68 degrees, my cellar is a cool 50 degrees (perfect for storing beer)), I have
2 bottles of the 2011 Fuller's Vintage Ale
1 or 2 bottles of the 2010 Fuller's Vintage Ale
1 or 2 bottles of the 2009 Fuller's Vintage Ale
1 Bottle of St. Bernardus ABT 12 which I bought in December 2010
1 bottle of St. Sylvestre 3 Monts 90th Anniversary.

My cellar is actually a dual climate 60 bottle wine fridge with 1 climate modified to store beer upright... it's set at 52 degrees (being that stouts, lagers and IPA's are all recommended to be aged at different temps between 45-60 degrees)..
anyway in there right now:
(2) 25 oz DFH Pangaea
(3) 22 oz Saint Arnolds 2011 Pumpkinator -- this is the best pumpkin beer i've ever had... it is amazing.
(3) 12 oz DFH Paolo Santo
(3) 12 oz DFH Immort Ale brewed october 2011 (thanks JK_livin!)
(1) 25 oz Jester King Black Metal Stout
(1) 12 oz Guinness 250th anny stout (not sure if that is being aged or archieved)
(1) each of 22 oz Saint Arnolds Centennial, light and dark versions
(1) 25 oz DFH Obrama....
(1) 25 oz Bourbon Barrel Quad from Boulevard Brewing Co....
I think that's it...
I have a lot of drinking to do next year
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
Well done shep. I drank at least 12 of the Immorts last November, wish I had saved some. The Palo Santo is really boozy fresh, so we'll see how it ages.
Whats the most aged beer you've had out of the bottle?

If any of you care to take a couple minutes and watch this it's about the push to raise ABV limits and legalize homebrewing in Mizzip...featuring my favorite store. Pretty stupid that stores can sell homebrew kits but you aren't legally allowed to brew it
Faithfull Ale has finally hit Oregon at $10.59/bottle.
Good price. Too bad the beer is mediocre.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

... thanks, I think ... the girlfriend thinks it's a fairly heathy hobby - as long as I stick with the one fridge...
Yea... I just bought the Palo a couple of weeks ago from the January batch of this year... had one and am aging the rest... not really sure how it felt about the first one - the booziness was definitely a little overwhelming when combined with the woody flavors... if it wasn't for the maltyness I would have thought I was drinking an Isle of Sky single malt (my other booze habit :oops: )
haven't had any of the immort yet, JK_livin sent it down to my from NJ (thanks again Tom!)... it never showed up here in Houston, except at one store, which i missed by 24 hours... the beer guy told me they sold out of it within 6 hours of putting it on the shelf... Anyway, I'm gonna age 3 and there's one in the fridge for me to try the weekend...
I just finished a Full Sail Amber Ale and a Sierra Nevada Celebration... both very enjoyable... really like the Full Sail Amber... I could definitely see myself consuming a 6 or 12 pack of those on the right night.... The celebration is pretty hoppy... the hop punch surprised me a bit on the first sip - but enjoying the last few drops as I type this....
Also - the gf gave me a $30 gift card to my local beer store for valentines... went down there today and spent it... after recommendations from my beer guy, I walked away with a new brew from Jester King called Thrash Metal, a bottle of Raven Mad from Bridgeport brewers, and a 6-pack of Anchor Steam (i'm kind of ashamed to say I've never actually had any of their beers before :oops: )
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
We have a few imperial IPA's from Alley Kat "in the Cellar", a couple Barley wines and an Imperial Stout or two. All from places in Canada. We drank the DFH Pangaea after about a year...just couldn't wait any longer... :oops: We try to keep some of it around...but sometimes you get thirsty...

I really liked the Pangaea when I had it fresh... actually drank 2 bottles of it, and somehow have refrained from drinking the other 2 so far (it's been about 4-5 months)... I don't know how long I'm going to make it before I go back and have one... I'm hoping I can make it to the 1 year mark...
Unfortunately it's not on the schedule for DFH this year... very dissappointed at that, especially seeming how it's one of their few occassional brews that actually has label approval in the state of TX... :(

i admit, i'm a beer snob.....and i find goose island to be over rated. i've tried a few different brews a few different times and always come to the same conclusion.
that's ok...right? i mean, i'm sure everyone doesn't agree with my beer choices....
I've always liked Goose Island, but yeah a bit overrated. This coming from a Samuel Adams fanatic. Seriously though, this "overrated" nonsense has gotta end with craft beers.

beers can be over rated....there are some beers out there that get talked up so much, like they are the greatest thing ever...and then you try it, and you shake your head and go why
Where should we stop and what should we look for in the NW corner of Arizona and SE corner of Nevada (Flaggstaff/Vegas)? The Mr. loves the IPAs and I am a pale ale gal.

lot of oak/bourbon aged beers on that list....
i remmeber hearing about them a couple of years ago, they were becoming all the rage...
I've had the dark truth, double wide IPA, The Sixth Glass (a quadruple), and a Tank 7... of them the dark truth and the double wide were my favorites...
I also have one of there limited releases in my beer aging fridge... the 2011 Bourbon Barrel Quad... it's clocked in at some ridiculous ABV, so i thought it might be a good idea to age it a bit, judging from the other beers i've had from the brewer...

can you be considered a craft beer when you are produced by one of the big three?
Ohhh yea, Bud bought Goose Island, right? Not like anything has changed w/ goose island though...still a lot of good beers.
didn't the brewer quit?
i'm not a goose island fan at all. i don't care for any of the chicago brewers that much.
Not sure. Green line, 312, and summer ale are all pretty damn good. But I guess not good enough for you beer snobs
