    drink them dont look at them as most beers will fade over time. As cosmicevan says collect glassware and drink beer. I drank a bcbvs tonight already and now drinking a fou foune solo and watching Turbo with the kids. Crazy times here in Indiana.

    I've drank bottles of Cantillon because it was a Tuesday. If I'm in the mood for a good beer, I drink it. After all that is what I buy it for.

    Based on the thread title, I thought this was about whales..no whales here.

    Shit, I may drink a KH tonight just because of this thread. Opened a Prairie Bomb yesterday because I wanted a beer and bomb sounded well bomb..


    So:

    Do you ever drink these beers? Yes
    When do you drink these beers? Days ending in Y
    Do you need a special occasion to crack open a rare beer? The beer is the occasion.

    For me it is special occasions and with my tasting group. I rarely open something awesome by myself.

    I saved a Parabola for my engagement, and I'm lucky enough to have a woman who appreciated it as much as me. It was only 8 months old and, all things being equal, I would have aged it a couple years. However, I felt if there was a time to down a whale, this was it.

    The Wales always come out at the monthly poker game and the really big ones are usually slayed at a bottle share.

    Big beers, like anything over 13-15%, I prefer to share with someone others, as I don't usually drink a 22 or 750 of something that big alone, my wife doesn't like dark brews, so I can't share them with her.

    Certain beers like my 2011 Black Magick and k13, among a couple others, I am planning to split with my buddy back east when we meet up next.

    I line up my whalez on the counter and have them stare at, mock and tease my non-whalez until they cry or their caps pop off.

    Anytime so long as I know I'll enjoy it. I.e. - not while waiting in line in the heat in a parking lot at 11am before a bottle release.
