    Apparently you gotta' just have the right touch. I tried 3 different ways to get that pic inserted here. Thanks. :slight_smile:

    Not sure exactly, but in the thousands.

    If it is any indication, I have 56 different Deschutes labels. :grinning:

    56??? This site only has 50 Deschutes beers with more than one review, and I assume a lot of those must be draft-only. Does that include yearly Jubelale variants and such? In any case, that is damn impressive - I have barely a quarter of that!

    Yearly Jubelales going back to probably 2003.... All Abyss, BBX? varieties, both Dissident... A few that have changed labels significantly, etc. But still 56. I have a problem... I know.

    Ive got a bottle collection coming close to 300. last count a few months ago was 250 but we have been slacking lately.
    Got them all on shelves in our living room with our brew equipment under all of it.

    never thought of counting them, but i have 4 photo album binders full. recently went on a wild goose chase trying to find more of the magnetic page binders after my local michael's craft store stopped carrying them. ended up finding them and extra pages in target. was pumped and picked up a few more albums to fill. will give a count in the near future.

    Whenever my wife tells me I'm insane for collecting so much glassware, I will point her to this thread--particularly that pic--and she will have nothing more to say. Thanks in advance, everyone.

    Well, sure. They're glass, so they're glassware; they take up real estate, so they're part of the collection; my kitchen has more glass than a greenhouse, so I'm "crazy." :grinning:

    Considering how many of those pints I've bought you and had custom made, I'd say I'm an enabler. Plus, you're not crazy. Mothergoose03 is crazy, in a good way. Now you have a new standard to achieve, and a house addition to build... :wink:

    Well some are sticker labels. I really like those really easy to remove. Next is German/Belgium beers. Usually with simple hot water and a 1/2 hour soak they tend to just fall off.

    Then it's just being real careful. Some labels are just cheap and fall apart but I believe most will come off rather easy with a hot water soak.

    Man that's amazing.I don't have the space or ingenuity to craft something that incredible. Even the detail to making the bottles "lock" into place is a nice touch.

    I had some bombers saved from Southern Tier and Stone (can't take the labels off stone stuff) I also have a can collection with around 30-40 (I know it's small but it's mostly newer craft beers I picked up) Just a couple of shelf's around my man cave.
