X-mas dinner
Curious, as to what everyone's planning on drinking with x-mas dinner. I'm thinking of taking a bottle of Dupont Bons Veoux and a Unibroue ephemere cranberry over to family dinner.
I've been looking forward to the holidays more than ever this year since i've accumulated a lot of good stuff to share with visiting friends from out of town. And between my family's Christmas dinner, inlaw christmas dinner, a large inlaw family get together tomorrow, friend drop by dinners and a bottle share over the holidays i've been shuffling around the the cellar trying to figure out what's getting drank when. i can't imagine how you guys with 100+ bottle cellars do it.
It's just my brother and I that enjoy the beer I'll bring to our Christmas dinner so i think we are splitting a jester king el cedro and a black tuesday or bolt cutter for dessert/relaxing. the inlaw stuff will just be regular fridge stock to get me through those.

Well, given that many of the bottles in my cellar are multiples or at least different vintages of the same beer, that helps.ckoop wrote: i can't imagine how you guys with 100+ bottle cellars do it.
For me, I am hosting the family for Christmas Eve dinner and trying to come up with an interesting tasting lineup, which is proving to be difficult but fun. It is usually a good time to pull out the 750 ml, high ABV bottles that I haven't been brave enough to tackle solo over the past few months. I have a fair share of those. So I am thinking that BA Narwhal will make an appearance along with a few others.
I usually pull out an Abyss for Christmas Day dinner, and will probably do that again this year.
Then when I head to the in-laws for a few days, I typically bring a few nice bottles to drink/share ... perfect time to drink those bottles that have been sitting in the cellar for a while because there are seems to be something more interesting to drink.
Christmas holidays always mean lots of beer and lots of sharing...

Thank you for making me feel like less of a hoarder! It's rare to see someone post on this forum that they have a cellar larger than mine! lolspinrsx wrote:imagine those of us that have 1000+ bottle cellarsckoop wrote: i can't imagine how you guys with 100+ bottle cellars do it.

I'll second that. I'm at about 300 bottles and I'm already struggling to figure out how I'm going to drink it all before it gets too old.TheSevenDuffs wrote:Thank you for making me feel like less of a hoarder!

There's a few guys on cellarhq that have 2000+. I check their cellars every now and then to make myself feel somewhat normal.
90% of what I have is imperial or sour, so I shouldn't have too much that will go to waste.
