    I'm at about 20- 750/22's and about 80- 12's right now. I have a small wine fridge full to more than the 25 bottle capacity and two cases of 12oz's in the coolest closet(no basement).

    I have beers that I'm aging for future consumption but regularly drink from my "cellar" so it hasn't gotten too crazy yet. As long as I keep ipa's plentiful in the fridge the girlfriend is happy.

    i kinda stopped counting. i have two fridges (the one in my avatar is my cold beer fridge) that is stocked with beer to drink at colder temps (ipas/pales/browns etc). that one fits roughly 350 beers, and although it is not 100% full, i would say its about 80% full of beer.

    i have a second fridge that does not have sliding glass doors, but the hinge door. it has 3 racks that i store 12 oz bottles on, each rack having 6 rowsx7 beers per row=42 beers per rackx3= 126 beers in the racks. it is completely full. on the bottom i have an area for bombers/750s, and probably have 30 or so bombers in there.

    I then have an additional storage of cellarable beer, and thats where i am goign to be a little unsure. probably another 40 bombers, and another 3-4 cases of 12 oz bottles.

    I have so many bomber/750 formats that i wanna share with my friends at tastings but we do not get together enougha nd i keep accumulating beer. I am going to build a shelving in there and will make a spreadsheet and update it. it just keeps getting harder and harder to keep track with a small space to store it in.

    I seem to be maintaining somewhere between 180-200 brews. Unique beers is between 80-100 and breweries is around 40. Seems to be a good place for me with lots of options, a couple favorites, and some I won't find out what they even taste like for years to come.

      I told my wife I wouldn't buy any more beer.
      When she took the kids to gymnastics I ran to the store, and bought Black Note.
      I just
      couldn't resist. I at least got it into the house, and down in the cellar without her seeing.

    I'm at about 300, and the vast majority are bombers. Lately thought I've been drinking some really good stuff so I don't feel too bad. I've got a case of OH Imp Stout for xtras, three cases of WW sours, and the rest is mostly non-local stuff. Some of the stuff I've busted out latel: Bruery white chocolate (fantastic), CR WnB, lots of BCBS, mayan mocha stout, coffee abduction, blind pig, etc etc.

    Just north of 200 I would guess. Trying to scale back a bit but people keep making good beer and then offering it for purchase at nearby retail establishments...what's a guy to do?

    I did a quick count ruffly 350 of which approximately
    60 or 70 are large format bottles.
