    Just read a thread about hoarding beer and it made me wonder what the "average" BA has in their arsenal. Personally I have a about 100 bottles and I have been collecting/cellaring for 2 years.

    I would say I have about the same amount in 2 years also. I seem to have slowed down on the cellaring as of late and more into gathering/trading and drinking them.

    310 as of yesterday, 312 as of today. Not all of these are true "cellared" beers, but most of them are cellarable.
    They're all just patiently waiting for me to get to them.

    Tad over 40, (not including homebrew). I have been cellaring for about a year, but I would say I am relatively picky about what I cellar (except good lambic and gueuze, but I can't find enough of it).

    Too many. I got obsessed about 5 years ago and started throwing all sorts of stuff in there. At one point it was over 700, but over the last couple years I've made a serious dent in it and have only added sours and various stouts to complete verticals. At this point I'm probably down to 250ish, and I want to get it even lower.

    I only have 8 total. It takes a rare beer that I will actually want to cellar and not drink within a few months, although I've really only been into beer for about a year now.

    uh... are you able to triangulate cellar location through IP address?

    I have about 60-70 beers. Don't really keep count. Use to have over 100, but finally started drinking them and sharing/trading.

    Let's make this thread interesting and name a few - just to see what you're into:

    Hunahpu, CC Imperial Milk Porter, Black Tues, Abyss Vert., KBS Vert., Dissident Vert.

    40 different kinds. A few are in 4 and six packs, so maybe 60 actual bottles. Only been cellaring for about 4 months now.
