What are your cheap, easily accessible cellerables?

St bernadus abt 12
Old stock ale

 

My bottle shop has Narwhal and I've seen a lot of ppl say Abyss is on shelves (Though I haven't seen it). What you have listed as your easy find cellar beers are pretty good pics. I cellar similar beers. Maybe expand on some of the ones you have mentioned? Founder Breakfast stout has almost a whole shelf in my cellar, along with Backwoods Bastard.

The porter should store just fine.

 

Stone IRS and Lindemans Cuvee Rene are both inexpensive cellerable beers

 

Epic Big bad Baptist is a good one....although I haven't had it aged yet. I just started adding it to my holdings. Think I have batch 70 and 71....

 

Expedition Stout is a great one to age. I have also found that the BIG Dogfish Head beers age great as well. I've had a 5 year old World Wide Stout and a 6 year old Fort and both were delicious and could have aged even longer. I am currently trying to get some more WWS to start aging it again. The ABV is too high to be sold here so I'm gonna have to trade for it. The Avery stouts like Uncle Jacobs and Tweak would be great to age as well. I realize these aren't so "cheap" and not sure how easy they may be for you to find, but they all will age beautifully and aren't considered "whales" and do see wide distribution.

 

Bell's Expedition Stout. I wish I could give some input on how it ages, but I only started my vertical a couple years ago with 2 six packs each year. Bell's says on their site that Expedition (and Third Coast old ale) ages indefinitely, so that might be a good place to start.

 

Great Divide Yeti

 

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
Anchor Our Special Ale

 

Old rasputin barrel aged is not cheap or easy to find. It is over $20.00 a 500ml bottle

Boulevard sixth glass and dark truth.

 

This is definitely the time of year to be thinking about cellaring beers. Lots of great stuff being released.

I always try to snag a few of the following:
- Stone Xocoveza
- Founder's B'fast Stout
- Founder's Backwood Bastard
- Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
- Sierra Nevada Narwhal
- Avery Rumpkin
- Avery Pump(KY)n

Just to pocket one of each from each year - to me - will be pretty significant after 4-5 years.

That said, there are always a couple special things hitting the market around this time of year. To name a few specific to 2016:
- Founder's Lizard of Koz
- Oskar Blues BBA Ten Fidy
- Prairie Christmast BOMB!
- Sierra Nevada BBA Narwhal
- BCBS

(I've got one of each of the Deschutes Abyss variants from last year - Rye Whiskey & Cognac - that I'm especially proud of!)

Keep an eye on social media for the breweries you enjoy specifically. They often do their big releases around this time of year. If you stock up and save, then come next year you'll have a great cellar to build off of. CHEERS!

 

Had a 2014 Saison Dupont with Thanksgiving Dinner. It was awsome. Love the green bottle dupont. A little light struck character adds to the complexity for sure.
