Unlike wine, beer cellaring is not mainstream, it&#8217;s not well documented and it&#8217;s a guessing game as to what improves and what &#8220;falls off&#8221;. The consensus of most beer geeks is that cellaring is not worth it. I&#8217;ve had Lambic beer older then 15 years old and it was very good. Lambic is the uncontested ale that can be cellared. No one will disagree that you can&#8217;t keep it for a long time. Most beer geeks prefer fruit lambics fresh. Big stouts, barley wines and some American Wilds can be enjoyed with age and it&#8217;s okay to assume you can cellar those beers.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a big difference between cellaring and simply having more beer than you can drink. In my cellar, it&#8217;s a mix of 100 bottles I&#8217;m intentionally aging (almost all of this is lambic) and another 75 bottles that I consider &#8220;trade bait&#8221; which are beers that I use to get trades started or simply sweeten deals for bottles I&#8217;d like to try and that leaves over 100 bottles of beer that I just need to consume because I doubt they&#8217;ll get better with age OR I feel they&#8217;re better fresh. There have been some surprises in opening some older bottles of beer but, when you spend $20 on some bourbon barrel aged stout, taking a 50\/50 chance that it will taste terrible in 3 years is a waste of money.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;ve only been buying &#8220;more beer than I can drink&#8221; for the last 12 months. To have over 300 beers within a year makes me think that, without a serious reflection on what my goals are and some serious cellar pruning, I would end up doubling this next year especially considering I have joined Crooked Stave, Bruery&#8217;s and soon, Hill Farmstead&#8217;s membership programs. That&#8217;s a lot of beer I&#8217;ve pre-bought. The cellar must remain the same or shrink in 2013. Not grow larger.<\/p>\n<p>=======<\/p>\n<p>I moved into a new house last month which has a proper basement. I ordered new shelving and am really stoked about the basement setup. Tonight, after finally setting up the horizontal lambic storage, I took a few photos and shot video.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;2013 Beer Cellar&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/8402985345\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block;
