Right now the only thing I am collecting in my house is dust. _________________ kidvelvet

We have one of those, but found that it isn't worth anything..  _________________ I drink to forget my blackouts. |

I have a pretty good collection.....I've been saving any cool bottles I come across, or any I get from other parts of the country(Thanks J!)....of course, the crown jewels are the Utopias, and the Westvleteren 12s.....The St. Bernadus SE tin is pretty cool too, but dented a bit...
Someday, I'd like to have a shelve or something to put them up, but I tried that before and they have to be covered, or dusted everyday...or they start to just look like junk.....
Best find yet though...this morning, I was cleaning a closet, and found an old bag that I had packed before I moved over a year ago.....an unopened big bottle of Chivas 12....may not be beer, but still a hell of a drink.... _________________ .

Cool rick..
I was starting one, but I just don't have room for it.. And like you said, if you can't keep them covered, it just turns into a mess.. _________________ I drink to forget my blackouts. |

Collecting the bottle/can is half the reason I buy a beer (the other half is to post a review ). I have them all behind my monitor on my computer desk. It's amazing how quickly bottles collect dust! |

My computer desk isn't big enough to hold over 500 cans and bottles! I keep some on one shelf and some on another and I've got some in boxes in 2 different places.I've begun to NOT save a few of the more uninteresting bottles I've tried- which is hard when you find almost all of them interesting. lol  |
