Can't wait to finally have a beer fridge when I move out of my condo and in to a house in March...
$150 off Craigs List a couple of years back. A true bargain!
Had roughly 200 - 220 bottles in there at some point.
You must either have a lot of friends who love craft beer or a lot of beer that you don't get to until it is "not quite fresh."
Why do you have all of that Fuller's Vintage Ale in the fridge? Are you going to drink all of that fresh?
My plans is to drink the Fuller's in about 5 years or so, when I've got a full decade's worth. Don't care much for it when it's fresh.
Most of the beers I have I'll sit on for a few years, due to their alcohol level and ageing potential. I do drink some fresh, but I like to see what some ageing does to certain styles.

Wouldn't refrigeration stunt the aging process quite a bit? I am relatively new at aging beer but from what I have read the temperature in your fridge will drastically reduce the effects of aging.

It will slow it down, but I ain't in a hurry The fridge maintains a temperature around 8 - 10c, so it's not too cold.
nothing right now, i decided since its getting cold in the basement to just leave it all down there on the cellar shelf. i dont really age much so its more of a storage unit than ageing space.
Is this a 'post your fridge' pic thread? Anyway I just got 12 Duvels and a couple I&Gs in my beer fridge along with some homemade beef jerky...maybe a jar of sauerkraut....nothing to take a pic of.

It certainly is impressive, but my friend's cellar is better. He bought a Suburban specifically for buying beer on road trips. And he's been a beer geek for over 20 years. To put it mildly, he is well stocked.
