    220 bottles
    I once got a donation of over 30 used homebrew bottles over 20 years old. One was still filled and I opened it and had a glass even though it smelled like, well, I can't even relate it to anything else.

    2nd guess: 444 bottles is how many you'll be tossing (assuming I was the lucky one)

    I wish I could say the same :slight_smile: . I've been dying to try Citra. I did have a bottle of Vigneronne last night though so I can't complain.

    The bottle was at a bar, so it was not added to my collection. :slight_frown:

    This is not a hint.

    Tossing 203 bottles.

    Fun factoids - I refuse to drink any pumpkin beers and oktoberfest beers until after labor day. I also collect bottle caps and corks and wire caps. I also keep a picture of almost every bottle that i try.

    Thanks for the chance!

    I'm thinking about doing exactly that, much more manageable. I made sure to take the cork from the Cantillon I had last night.

    Pictures don't take up nearly as much space as bottles. I do like going back occasionally and reading bottle labels. Creating a label scrapbook is a cool idea, but I think it would be pretty time consuming.

    100 bottles even, why not? :slight_smile:

    I've been collecting bottle caps from all the unique beers I've had. It's a slow process, but I'm accumulating a nice little collection. Thanks!

    I'm going with tossing 276.

    My bottle collection was started in 1992 and currently sits at more than 2,700 bottles. No dups and no macros. I'm lucky to have a great space downstairs to house them though many haven't been witnessed in years as some shelves are seven bottles deep.

    Here are pics:

    401 ftw.
    Fun fact: I am currently sitting in a green chair, unfortunately not enjoying a beer because my MBA class starts in 2 hours

    Beer related fun fact: I collect beer bottles too, but only about 20 or so at a time. They sit on a ledge on the stairway down to my cellar, and only get recycled when getting replaced by that I enjoyed more than something sitting there currently. Examples of bottles include Splinter Blue, Armand'4 Zomer, Cuvee De Castleton, Beatifcation batch 2 and 3, etc

    Time for another pic:

    And another hint: There's more then 150 bottles, but way less then the guy in the post above. Rochefort10nh: That's a very impressive collection, I wish I had room for that many.

    Stay tuned for another picture at 7:30pm.

    All of these pictures are making me wish I had the space to save bottles again.
