I've got 3 kegs right now, all partially full to about 10 gallons total I guess, and another 25 gallons fermenting or in various states of aging. 5 carboys/buckets sitting in the living room of my 580 square foot condo. Awesome!
 
Bottles :
6 cases of organic blonde.
1case of hoppy blonde
2 cases of nut brown.
1case of various beers I brewed.

Kegs:
5g of a 2year old untouched BA RIS
3 gallons organic blonde
4 gallons of a mead.
10 gallons of iipa
20 gallons of hef...just kegged!
Igotsand
 
1 case of IPA, 6 pack of "honey" wheat, almost 2 cases of brown conditioning, a little over 2 cases of pale nearly done conditioning and 4.8 gallons of blonde fermenting.
 
I got 5 fermenting (Mild), and going to make another 5 gals this weekend, got a bunch of previous bottled brew and a ton of commerical i hope to have a tasting on memorial day for my friends to try to convert some of them or get them to try things they havent heard of. I want to range from Sour to RIS.
 
I have 2 mini kegs (2.5 gallons each) 1 of a Stone IPA clone, 1 black IPA and
different size bottles with about 4 cases of beer.
I slow down alot in the warm months and also make smaller batches.
 
Still new at this, what I have laying around:

*3 (out of 41) bottles of my first batch (True Brew Porter)
*12 (out of 50) bottles my second batch (kumquat wheat--it went fast)
*6-pack of Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout
*6-pack of New Belgium 1554
*6-pack of Natty Greene's Buckshot
*5 remaining bottles of Woodchuck Amber Cider (for the sister)
*1 remaining bottle of Sam Adams Alpine Spring
*4 remaining bottles of Negra Modelo

Help is on the way soon though. My first AG (BIAB) batch (Revvy's Kentucky Common) has 43 bottles conditioning (ready in two weeks), and my second AG (BIAB) batch (azscoob's Saison) is in primary.

I imagine that with the pipeline starting to get established, the homebrew to commercial ratio will shift noticeably over the course of the summer (especially with me on an academic calendar--all the brewing!). Although Food Lion pricing SA, NB, and NG for $6.99/6pk yesterday is also responsible for some of that.
 
I have a 5 gal blonde ale, 10 gal saison, 10 gal of cream ale (for a party I am hosting), 5 gal sour, 5 gal oaked number 8, 5 gal dawson kriek, 12 gallons of mead in various stages. I would prefer not to even think of the bottled wine etc that I have laying around...I would guess about 60 - 90 bottles of wine laying around.

And yet I wanted to brew friday.
 
Sitting on
30 bottles of hoppy red
30 bottles of wee heavy
5 gal robust porter bottle conditioning
5 gal nut brown bottle conditioning
5 gal blond cold crashing
5 gal tripel primary
and 2 empty carboys :( So it's time to brew something else. I just built a kegerator and now i've got CO2 and don't have to bottle anymore!
 
Right now, I have a couple of sixes each of about 7 different batches from last Fall. My Spring batches are now coming out of the pipeline, being bottled and going on the shelves. I am another one who goes through a couple of six-packs a week, tops, and adheres to a Spring and Fall brewing schedule, to avoid the extremes of temperature here in Central IL.
 
I have gone a little overboard.

I have about
- 80 1l bottle of various brews,
- 380 1/2 l bottles
- 4 mini kegs
- 7 seven gallons batches fermenting
for a total of 125 Gallons of beer at home.

I'll be running out of empty bottles soon.
 
Approximately:
15 gallons of beer in bottle
5 gallons of beer fermenting

plus ~200 bottles of wine and ~20 gallons of wine aging in carboys
 
I am pretty much maxed out.

17 x 750 ml bottles of Apfelwein
15 x 6 12 oz. bottles of the remains of 6 assorted batches from last Fall.
5 assorted full batches bottled from this Spring
1 batch remaining to brew....and I must drink the beer that's in the bottles it will go in when ready.
 
I have 8 cases of EPA and Oatmeal Stout sitting in the house, then 5 gallons each of RIS and an IPA, unbottled. Will be brewing a black butte clone in a week or so. My extended family is going on a camping trip in August, and by my calculations, I will need about 20 gallons of beer just for that. Plus, every batch I brew I give some to others, usually leaving myself less than half of what I make. That's fine with me, though, since I'm trying to lose weight. If I drank all my own beer, I wouldn't be able to eat anything in order to make up for the excess calories in my diet. Right now I keep it under a beer a day.
 
I've gone a little overboard as well. I just started brewing three weeks ago and I've got 5 gal of irish red, 5 gal of hefeweizen, and 2.5 gal of caramel hard apple cider either just ready or almost ready. I only have a few more weeks before work really picks up so this weekend I'll be brewing 5 gal double chocolate stout, 5 gal blonde rye, and 3 gal of Denny's Bourbon Vanilla Imperial stout. Those will be either BIAB all grain or partial-mashes. My previous have been extract brews.

Hopefully, these will hold me over for the next few months...
 
Let's see...

3 gallons of a porter.
7 gallons of a blonde
10 gallons of amber
5 gallons of Scottish
10 gallons of pale ale
10 gallons of cream ale.

I drink one or two on weekdays, three or four on weekends.
Some will go to friends who are getting kegerators set up, and we also entertain.
 
Cornies: 5gal pale mild, 5gal Lemongrass Hefe, 3gal Blueberry Hefe, 5gal BDS
Fermenters: 5gal DFH 90min, 5gal Summer Saison, 5gal Blonde (2x2.5gal), 5gal Robust Porter
Bottles: 4gal American Barleywine, 1gal Accidental IPA, 1gal Dark Mild, 1gal scraps
