Beer choices in the fridge

I guess I've never looked at it this way. For example, I'm pretty sure that sometime over the next 10 months I'm going to want a Parabola or Saison-Brett or Stone IRS. So when one of these beers comes out, I buy as much as I think I'll want for the coming year (or sometimes longer if I'm aging a few). The only exception to this rule is IPAs, which I buy fresh and drink ASAP.

Some people might call me a hoarder; I think I'm just a drinker who plans ahead.

I hate thinking about my fridge while at work....

 

Home brewed pale ale
Home brewed golden ale
Samichilaus
Boulevard sixth glass quad
Fullers London Pride
Sierra Nevada pale ale cans
Widmer dark saison
Boulevard Porter
Marshall arrowhead pale ale
St. Peters cream stout
Guinness lager
Sierra Nevada Hoptimum
Home brew pumpkin ale

Other than the home brew, most are single bottles

 

Do what I do: put some in the fridge at work. I've got a Collage and Uncle Jacob's in there waiting for "one of those days".

 

I find that I often run low on "everyday" beers, so even though I have tons of bottles in the fridge and closet, sometimes I have to run to the store when I want something that's not like a 14% imperial stout. My wife thinks it's a little ridiculous when I say "I'm out of beer," and yes, I see her point. But I'm not going to crack an Abyss every night.

Usually keep anywhere from 6 to 12 varieties in the food fridge. The beer fridge in the garage is a different story though. Then there's about 30-40 odd bottles that comprise the 'cellar'. Then there's the homebrew, which could be anywhere in the house depending on its state of fermentation and/or carbonation.

It is a better than normal stash since I raided the cellar for vacation next week.

 

Without being home I can say with confidence that there are about 12-15 different brews in there currently. Usually it would be lower, but moving to a place where I no longer have a place to cellar/store my beers means more and more are getting drank every day.

And that's a good thing (mostly)

 

Wow I feel great. thanks guys.

I have one bottle of Birra Moretti. When the girl and mom leave, Ill probably grab every Weihenstephaner I havent had.

 

I have a lot to pick from in my fridge and my cellar looks like this one...​

Thanks to the OP...this was a good exercise for me. I have 45 different types of beer in the beer fridge at the moment including two varieties of homebrew.

Time to stop buying for a little and start drinking.

 

I have 5 Heady Toppers and 2 Plinys in the fridge right now.

I have about 30 beers down in the cellar.

 

I don't keep much around because I usually shop twice a week for what I'm interested in at the moment, but there are always strays lurking about. On average there are 6-8 different beers to choose from, some more than others.

 

Currently in the fridge, a 47 bottle mix of these:

Surly Bitter Brewer
Surly Furious
Cadillac Mt Stout
Capt. Lawrence Imperial IPA
Capt. Lawrence Brown Bird
Capt. Lawrence Kolsch
Columbus IPA
Maui CoCoNut Porter
Double Jack
Wookey Jack
Fuller's ESB
Lake Erie Monster
Big Sky Moose Drool
Ruination 10th
White Rajah
Victory at Sea
Kellerweis

Everything else is hanging out in the chest freezer

 

Well, my fridge contains mostly food, some juice and milk. As far as the beer goes, currently there is :

Heady Topper x 2
Black Ops
Avery Samaels
Black Ops
NEBCO 668 x 2
NEBCO Ghandi-Bot
Victory Whirlwind-Wit
Grey Sail Summer
Bells Third Coast
Guinness can
Tank 7 x 2
Founders Imperial Stout

 

1 Funkwerks Fruition, 1 Odell's IPA, 1 Boulevard Double Wide, 1 Anchor Libert Ale.

 

1/2 keg of Sunshine Pils, two sixes of Stone IPA, 1 Lindemans Cassis Lambic, 2 Mad Elf, 4 Fireside Chat (soon to be discarded), 2 Santa's Reserve, and one can of Genny Cream Ale in the egg tray

 

you have to have choices if you expect to pair it with your food

 

I generally don't buy beer until I'm out of the last purchase.

Unless you cook to pair with the beer you have.
