    Went to Home Depot and Container store today looking for enclosed shelving. Only thing that seems heavy duty enough for a beer collection are the open access wire shelving (or the version with flat shelves). Has anyone paired this up with some sort of a cover to block light? Or do people just keep everything in boxes (which is what I'm trying to get away from).

    Looks sturdy. My concern is the light.

    They make doors you can put on some or all of the cubbies.

    If that is the 13"x13" you can get the shelves that slide in. They make them from flimsy to solid. I picked up 2 of these 3 x 2 shelves at Target to put my record collection in. I use the extra shelves to store beer and brewing stuff in

    I guess I don't have very great advice here because I have a chest freezer for my beer, but I just leave my less "cherished" beers on a shelf in my basement in my furnace room. There's one window in the room, but the room doesn't see a ton of light coming in. I think unless you're storing stuff in a room that has a ton of light coming in, you probably don't need to worry THAT much about light damaging the beer.

    I just get empty boxes from my local beer store to hold all mine. And for the 750ml corked bottles, I have an old wine display rack with a blanket draped over the top
