Anyone beat this?

Here is our beer collection:


(both shelves are 2-3 beers deep)




anyone think they can top it?

What are we supposed to be trying to beat? The amount of empties?

If so, how many are there?

Killians and Labatt's are trophies? Shame.

the count is 187

hey even bud is up there.. but it is one of the older ones..

this collection is only 2 years in the making...

I did bottle collections in college, until I learned the danger of beer-bottle-stank.

yeah, I am in college now, and we are renting this apartment. We had to drill anchors in the wall, so goodbye deposit. The shelves are starting to bend too...

Within these assorted pics are over 700 bottles and at least 3 more cases in the garage. I also have over 20 mini-kegs and 25 cornies...

#1 has 14 - 20 bottle cases = 280 bottles
#2 has 70
#3 has 240 bottles in 12 cases (under the bottom shelving)
#4 has 140 or so...

That's about 730 showing...but I wouldn't call it a "collection" since most of these are "working" bottles . They've been emptied and refilled many times..., but hey, you asked.

Close enough?

holy crap!:rockin:

you blew ours out of the water!

I lived in Germany for 9 years...and those are just the bottles I brought back...no where near as many as I drank while living there.

mmm Radeberger. Drank prolly 50 litres of that in a month in Dresden.

I lived about a mile from the St. Georgen Brauerei in Buttenheim. I swear, right next door was a Lowenbrau brewery. The only thing seperating the two was the pick-up and deliery truck ramp.

I lived 11 miles from Bamberg...9 breweries in 1 city (a 10 may be on the way)...reportedly over 300 breweries within a 25 KM radius. http://www.franconiabeerguide.com/

That wasn't work...that was a paid 5-year drinking vacation...

Yeah I love how every little town has a few houses, a few goats, and a brewery.

Hope you guys don't live in an earthquake zone. That would be a painful evacuation. Is this collection duplicate free?

SWMBO made me get rid of my bottle collection a few years ago, claiming it was tacky and redneck (my response, "That describes me," didn't work). It was mostly hard liquor with a few interesting beer bottles. However, I think I could completely blow you out of the water. One night, a friend and I created such an incredible pyramid of beer cans at an Alaskan lodge by playing "Cans across America," that it stood for a week as a testament to our prowess. We drank two each of every canned beer they had available, for a total of over two cases. If that's what I can do in one night, imagine if I kept the empties for a year...

I had to drink 200 (different beers) down at the local Flying Saucer to get a cheap plate hung up on the wall. Took about 4 months (they won't let you do more than three a night).

yeah i have a friend who did 150 for a mug/discount and flannigans in Lousiville

Well, I have exactly 100 bottles of my own homebrew right now, and about 150 empties waiting to be filled.
