Mostly interested in lambic and some AWA's these days there are stouts, barleywines, Saisons, and ect. on the bottom shelf. All the bottled homebrew is in my spare beer room, lol.
Finally took a few photos.
The left is beer and cider, the right is the wine, and on the end is the liquor.

Then I've got a space full of boxes for more commercial beer, probably 24 boxes.

And a closet full of Homebrew, probably another 20 cases (not pictured).
I need to have a party for all the booze i have at my house. I cant do it alone. I sware if i stop buying i have enough beer to last me years.

Feel free. But also don't miss chestnut brew works, he(former homebrew friend) recently opened a tap room. His Halleck pale ale is a legitimate APA.
Additions to the cellar. Can't wait for some rare and other variants next month.

Added a few bottles of rare and proprietors to the cellar today. Total of 48 bottles of all 2015 variants added.
I never saw rare. Overpriced but i would of bought one if i saw it. Maybe trade if someone doesnt raise the value
When i say overpriced rare, i don't mean that the $65 MSRP is overpriced (although it probably is). I mean that i paid substantially more than MSRP.
I think 65 is over priced. I understand its more but not $55 more than regular. Love to get one though
Like goose island?

Yes sir. It's how I got into craftbeer. Plus my cousin manages a distribution facility and he gets me whatever I want for very very cheap.
How have i never seen this?!
here is a picture of mine from the other day when i went to the commons, i'll have to get a newer picture with the garage beers... it works out right now for overflow as it's low 50's, high 40's outside and my garage isn't much warmer...

You could always get something like this.

Is that yours?
ISO like 5 of those.
Yeah. The shelves are 2 bottles deep so it holds about 500 bottles, with some of those being 12oz-ish size.
Personally, unless you come across an incredible deal, the wine cellars are not worth it for beer, IMO. I currently have four beer and wine storage appliances:
Eurocave Confort Vieillitheque (large mohogany finished wine cellar)
Viking Wine Refrigerator
Vintage Keeper wine cellar
Upright keezer
The eurocave stores red wine, the viking white wine, the vintage keeper and keezer store beer. The eurocave and viking are great for how i use them (wine storage). The Vintage Keeper is a cheap POS that I'm ready to replace with regular refrigerator or an upright freezer to keep at fridge temps.
The big reasons are shelving and cost. As blizzard shows above, wine cellars are intended to store bottles on their sides. The eurocave is more flexible than what blizzard's is, but would still need some modification to the shelves to efficiently store upright bottles. I store bottles upright on the vintage keeper shelves, but i have to be very careful to place things in such a way that they do not fall over.
I nearly bought another eurocave this weekend off of craigslist, but decided better of it. The cheapest ones cost $1700 new, the one i have originally cost something close to $5,000. Even at CraigsList prices ($700) I could still buy a new upright freezer or refrigerator for the money and have workable shelving. Of course, the eurocave does better to keep humidity up so that corks don't dry out, but that's not much of a concern on the timelines that most people cellar beer or even wine, it's more of a concern with wine that's kept for decades.
Thanks for the info, I think I'll just buy a 3 door stainless (commercial) fridge and install a temp controller.
