I’ve never been much of a beer snob, maybe a tiny bit of a snob now since I started brewing. A year or two ago I was talking with one of my friends in my club and I mentioned about how I saw a bottle from Founders that was $30. He proceeded to tell me about his collection and a few other tales. Once he drove out of state to buy a limited beer for some crazy price, I don’t remember exactly, but something ridiculous like $100! Purchase was limited to one at a time. He was able to buy like 4. That day it was completely sold out. Within a very short time he tripled his money!
I like having a beer collection, only beers that age well. Nothing special really, just for when you want something different than what’s on tap... I really don’t think I could ever have a beer collection where it’s partly a monetary investment. I know wine collections can fetch a high dollar, but then again I wouldn’t look at it as an investment.
IMHO, be it beer or wine, it’s meant to be enjoyed, not collect dust. I’m not poor and most certainly not rich, same as my buddy, but I could never spend more than $20 on one beer and that would have to be for a special occasion!
I’m sure there are some here who have collections, what’s your take one it? Do you collect for that special occasion or just something different? Or do you collect for a monetary investment?
