    I love collecting beer for vertical tastings. I always feel compelled to grab a couple every year to build up a vertical for a tasting (with those that can be aged). I currently have the last 9 years of Stone's Double Bastard, and I can't wait to have a tasting that brings all of them out. What's the largest vertical in your cellar, and what is it?

    I don't currently have any verticals in my collection, but 9 years of double bastard sounds wild! How many years are you going for before opening them all?

    I have tried a couple of the older ones recently (and they are great!), but haven't had them all at the same time. Hopefully soon!

    Nice! I have the last 2 years, and a few years of Abyss. Perfect beers for a vertical!

    Bigfoot and Bourbon County seem perfect for verticals. What you have would be amazing!

    Thomas Hardy's, however it is sporadic running from '81 through '99, with some 05, 07, and 08.

    Also have SA Triple Bock 94, 95, 97.

    Used to have Abyss 06-10, but I drank them all!
