How do you organize your cellar?

I have them organized by style underneath the bar. Imperial Stouts, barleywines, strong ales. Strong ales tend to be a mixed category and ones that i rather "keep for a little bit" rather than cellar for the purpose of improving and comparing.

 

The Beer Fridge is organized by brewery, except for the bombers, they get the bottom shelf. I can line them up six deep, on the shelves, but they finally get mixed up, at least a little. The 4 packs don't help either. I'll occasionally take the odds and ends and make a "drink it next" shelf.

I don't really have a cellar. The overrun gets stored in a storeroom off the garage. Its always dark, and is temp controlled. I keep this stash in the boxes from the store.

Organization is always a challenge. I'm actively hunting a store cooler, like a True Cool.

 

I store by bottle size and style. Long neck stouts/bw's/old ales go in one box. Squatty bottles go into another box. Bombers go with bombers, 750's with 750's. I also have boxes for special verticals, i.e. Bigfoot, Expy Stout, Old Stock, etc. I am also continually rotating stock so that I am drinking the beers at various times as opposed to just "collecting" beer. Hey, if it is my last 200? whatever, I bought it to drink it, not show it off. There is nothing worse than pulling out a 4 pack that has been put away for years and it is now only a shadow of what it used to be.
