Default Re: Anyone into beer like they are cigars?

Yeah, I'm into beer pretty much as seriously as I am into cigars. I try as many different kinds as I can afford. In fact, I've realized I am drinking a lot of non-local beers, and really need to go out and buy a 4 pack of Surly Furious. I have a few bottles I've been aging, but it's mostly that I buy beer faster than I drink it, so some of it invariably ends up being cellared.

I collect beer. I usually have a stomach full of it.

Just started getting more serious about aging beers! I have a fairly nice collection. I would say I'm still more serious about cigars though.

I love cheap beer and cheap cigars (OK, not too cheap!).

Here's the 'cellar', AKA temp controlled walk-in closet.

Most are home-brews, sours, RIS, barleywines, and others that age well.
Close-up, hard to see all of them though (counted almost 100 commercial beers)

Here's the wine fridge...with actual wine, as opposed to cigars, but it has some beer in the bottom as well so I took a pic:

Just found out they stopped brewing Thomas Hardy in 2008, need to stock up on these while I can, one of the few beers with a proven track record of aging for 20+ years. Oldest I have had was a '98, great beer but I could tell it had years and years ahead of it.

I've amassed a cellar of 250 rare/special release/retired bottles (bombers, 750's, and some 12oz) that is now crazier then my cigar collection was (I sold a lot of my collection as I got into beer). I never imagined that a bottle of beer could sell for $250.00, but I soon found out that was true (I thought the same about cigars, ie. 1492).

Anyone else on here collect/cellar beer or have a large collection?

Below are a few pics of the cellar and some of the rare beers I've managed to score. 1. beer cellar, 2. beer cellar, 3. Lost Abbey Cable Car (2007, 2008, 2009), 4. 3 Fonteinen Millennium Geuze (http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/3-fonte...um-geuze/21457), 5. Lost Abbey Isabelle Proximus (released in 2008).

Sean, what beer is in white six pack containers on the bottom shelf in the second picture from the left?

The boxes are from Dark Horse Brewery but there's random bottles held there (not Dark Horse beers).
