Beer Panic Levels

Man, I wish my numbers were that low. I just got back from a trip to NE and I believe I'll be okay for the next few weeks.

(B)=20
(T)=45

I think that I may have a problem.

 

(B)= 24/22oz + @24/12oz
(T)= 48/22oz + 72/12oz

I like to keep a fair amount around, although my beer "cellar" pales in comparison to my wine collection.

 

You're not alone OP. I too share this condition.

(B) = 12
(T) = 12 (assuming we're talking about a unit being a 12 oz can)

Tough to tailor your buying habits to abide by these numbers, at least as far as the IPAs are concerned.

 

I am yet to panic over beer. There's more at the bar and the store.

 

I have been trying to get down to single digits for over a year. I can't seem to fall under 25 -30 without someone sending me something or a can't miss local release happens. I long for the (B) panic.

 

Completely normal. I'm actually panicking right now because I'm leaving for a cruise this weekend and still have 15-20 bottles of hops in the fridge.

Also, just hit that panic number in the cellar as well, which is why I'm trading half of it.

(B)= 10
(T)= 50

 

Sadly, I think my bottom panic number would be somewhere around 100.

 

I generally don't put anything in my cellar that isn't age-able, so I guess my T = ∞

 

Ever since a trip to Wisconsin this winter when I brought back around 5 cases of beer, I've been unsuccessfully trying to get under 3 cases. Every few weeks when I buy more beer my wife comments on how much beer we have (unless I manage to sneak it in without her seeing). The obvious solution is for me to drink more, but somehow I don't think that's what she has in mind.

 

I never panic about too much. Too little would be 30 single serve bottles

 

I have plenty of beer in the 'cellar' (aging beer) but right now I think I have 6 beers left in the fridge. This is my panic scenario - because I know that soon I will be forced to pull some expedition stout out of the time capsule. I really want to keep it in the time capsule!

 

Anyone ever tell you you might have a problem?

 

same here... been working on a collection of BA and Imperial stouts right now up to 54 big bottles and 20 little ones

 

Or you could stop buying beer...

 

I wish I only had that much on hand. I usually have a 12-24 various beers in the fridge and maybe 5 bombers at any one time. The celler is a whole other monster with 200ish 12oz, 22oz, and 750s' (althouhg the GF says I need to start reducing this radically before we move . )

 

I might get antsy if there wasn't enough beer in the fridge for the next 24 hours and I was all out of liquor and had two broken legs, no cell signal and had been left Home Alone. Otherwise, I'm sure I could come up with a workable solution, and I never panic if I have a workable solution.

As far as having *too much* beer goes... I never keep more than a couple of cases (or the equivalent) on hand, and I generally buy my IPAs on a weekly basis, so no problem there.

 

B (50)
T (300)

 

I have a cellar full of higher ABV stuff so I never really panic but as far as everyday drinkable stuff in my bar fridge that is 8% ABV and under...I usually keep between 12-36 in the fridge at all times but never afraid to hit the cellar if a friend drops by

 

B - 75
T - 250
