How does one keep up on a bad ass cellar?

2 words...Russian River. When they update, my cellar updates. So it stays pretty full.

Oh ya, Toronado and great trading partners.

 

Live in a country with Cantillon access. Buy all the Cantillon and trade. =winning

 

Most of that "new and amazing" beer is less amazing than the stuff getting brewed down the street. I used to have hundreds of bottles and spend thousands of $ for mostly average beer. I finally figured it out a few years ago, thankfully.

 

It's been tougher in the past year. I don't really want to buy like three or four bottles of everything. My collection has gone from about seven or eight cases to closer to four. I haven't done a trade since June but I've been able to drink my collection down to the bottles that I absolutely cannot open, like Cantillons that I'm aging.

 

Some people are just extremely generous with their beers.
