    Do you have a beer related collection ? A certain brewery, glasses, labels, carriers, coasters you're collecting ?
    Mine is trappist beer related. From each trappist brewery, I collect a glass, a carrier, a coaster, a 750 bottle and one 330 bottle of each beer that's made. All bottles are empty, but the fluids that were inside tasted awesome !

    My bottle collection is approaching 2,000 but I only have room along my man cave walls for about 1,300 of them. (I didn't show the turning the corner off to the right to show the 4th wall in this photo collage, but that wall is only about 6 feet long.)

    [​IMG] Most of this board (between the horizontal black spaces at top and bottom) is covered in beer caps from California. I have 12 other boards, all or mostly covered in beer caps, with plans for another board (465 cap-acity) soon. I also have plans for a chandelier that will hold a bunch of painted 22oz bottles. Oh, and l collect every other damned beer thing, too.

    Dude, you're sicker than I thought :stuck_out_tongue:

    My wife would kill me.

    How often do you have to dust those bottles? ...and how long does it take??? :grimacing:

    Thank you. You guys are exhibits 1a and 1b for the defense when my wife starts to give me crap about the amount of stuff I have saved in the basement/man-cave.

    A half-ass job with a feather duster makes quick work of some of the dust. The remaining dust adds character I like to say.

    Exhibit 1a? I will deny any connection to my collection if forced to appear in a court of law...

    My wife would say it's either the bottles or the action figures in the man cave and I am in way too deep in regards to the action figures to quit now. This is awesome though. :slight_smile:

    As long as they're properly cellared in the trunk of a rusted out '72 Nova you'll be fine.

    What is the story on those blue bottles? My eyes could not not stop going straight to them.
